You can check stock, and the EU is the only region it's becoming consistently available in: the UK, Italy, France, Germany, and Spain, in that order. Those are also the most populous nations in Europe; you can keep track of that here: https://www.nowinstock.net/uk/videogaming/consoles/nintendoswitch/

 

In the US and JPN, it still sells out almost immediately (exlcuding overpriced bundles), which seems to indicate that supply still has a ways to go in catching up with demand.

All of those, besides one SKU sold by Nintendo themselves either say 'out of stock' or 'preorder', unless I'm missing something here that is not exactly the sign of healthy supply. And this is for UK, arguably EUs weakest maket for Nintendo. While the Switch might not sell out within hours like US and Japan, this shows that they indeed sell through their allocations before the next shipment arrives. It just takes a little bit longer.

You have to watch for the trends, and the "in stock" availability periods for the aforementioned regions have gotten continually longer. For instance, it's always been "in stock" somewhere, in the UK and Italy, for weeks; you can go buy one right now, at MSRP.

In the US and JPN, you can't even preorder it, which is insane.
