Switch in Japan had around 45k sales per week in April and those numbers are with fact that its sold out every week. US and Europe definitely are getting more stocks than Japan, so I wouldnt expect below 200k WW in coming weeks for Switch.

 

That isn't true, 2 weeks after launch you could buy everywhere 3DS and Wii U, we are now in May and Switch is still hard to find.

3DS had to cut off the price by $80 after six months and WiiU was a failure already, I don't know whats going to happen, but I saw a lot of switches in California on Best Buy, Target and Walmart (physical stores), right now I'm living in Australia and there are plenty of Switches on the shelves of EB Games and JB HI-FI.

I don't know if thats the case with most of the countries, but in my country of origin (a small country in Central America) you also can find more switches by now.

Yes, 3DS had price cut beacuse it didnt sell like Nintendo expected, Switch in other hand is selling better than they expected, thats why they double plan of production from 8m to 16m console this year, and thats why they still cant keep up with demand. Wii U has terrible sales basically right away after launch and holiday season.

In Japan, US and some countries in Europe its very hard to find Switch, stores are getting them but they are being very fast sold out, and you actually have waiting lists on some markets.
