According to @ZhugeEX, Nintendo really up'ed their game with the stocks for Switch Lite for both the holiday season and the possible new tariffs pending from China. So stock shouldn't be an issue at all this holiday season, but if it is... Holy shit.

I think they will most likely have stock issues.  All of these people projecting 20m for Switch this year are waaaay too conservative.  The Switch Lite means that this is the first holiday season that parents can afford to get their kids a Switch.  Now add in the Pokemon factor, and this holiday is going to be nuts. 

There are people out there who only play mainline Pokemon games and nothing else.  I have met more than one person like this.  Mainline Pokemon gets released and these people come out of the shadows to buy the game (and system too if need be), then they disappear for about 3 years until the next Pokemon shows up.  Pokemon + Switch Lite alone is huge on top of the growing sales momentum already there for the Switch.  Expect Switch to have supply issues.
