May mean nothing in the end, since we dont have actual numbers and the shipments given to gamestop could be small, but its good news for Switch nonetheless(thought this would be relevant to the discussion here)

This is just how Nintendo does launches.  It's an old practice.  The first shipment is low so the item is guaranteed to sell out.  That way you can get massive buzz with countless stories about a product selling out and being told to "hurry up and get yours."  Really, I think Nintendo is the only one who still does this.  Happened with Wii U, too.
