The amazing thing about the Switch is that Nintendo should have enough games already developed or in development for it that they could have at least one big game (including ports) releasing every month for all of 2017.
For example, in any random order these games could release any month outside of confirmed dates:
March: Zelda (confirmed for launch)
April: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (confirmed for April)
May: Arms
June: Splatoon 2
July: Pikmin 4
August: Smash Bros. Switch Port
September: Super Mario RPG X Rabbids game
October: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (apparently coming out in 2017)
November: Pokemon Stars
December: Super Mario Odyssey
Also all the 3rd party games releasing or 3rd party exclusives we don't know about yet.
So the Switch should have an amazing first year with a new zelda, a new 3D mario, pokemon, and more all in it's first year. All those games each month should keep the sales consistently good.
So I think the Switch will sell very well for 2017.

Thats what I also think Nintendo is trying to do. Have something every month rather than exploding it at launch and have nothing for the other months. And maybe they will continue to do this low stock strategy very month.

Yeah, I hope that's what they're gonna try to do. It would make no sense to have a bunch at launch when they're only shipping 2 million for March anyway, and Zelda should easily be able to fulfill all of those shipments/sales just by itself.
They need at least one big game every month to keep momentum and sales going, so it would be better for them to try and do it that way and to also avoid having any droughts in 2017.
