GameStop is just trying to flame demand, especially since their business is so shitty right now they're trying desperately to push any new product that could help them out.
Nintendo is not dumb enough to have such low stock all year round, they will miss their fiscal year targets if they do. They have too many big games next fiscal year to sell as well -- Splatoon 2, Mario Kart 8, Mario Odyessy need stock if they're to sell.
1,2 Switch is no Wii Sports (not even close), so once this initial wave of demand is satisfied, things will cool down a bit IMO, unless Nintendo is undershipping to a stupid degree. It's more like a modern N64 which was sold out it's first few months on the strength of Mario 64, but settled down after that.
