According to the WSJ, Nintendo has raised shipment levels for the Switch from 8 million (which was always a bit on the low side) to 16 million for the April 2017-March 2018 fiscal year. I can't confirm this for sure so take with a grain of salt until Nintendo says it officially. 

8 mill was always very low I think, but 16 mill ... is quite a bit. The 3DS never hit 16 million ever (13.95 million was 3DS' peak shipment year). 

I'm thinking a price cut to $250 for fall is pretty much in the bag now, Pokemon Stars and maybe even Animal Crossing Switch this fiscal year too on top of what we already know. There must be a lot coming in the next year or so, or Nintendo is getting overconfident too soon. 

So it doesn't look like stock issues for Nintendo Switch will be lasting too much longer either as a lot of systems should be coming for April.
