Recent Switch sales make me question if Nintendo's production capacities even reach the 750k units per month that I expected. Either it's closer to 600k per month or they are putting units on the side to have a higher stream of consistent supply beginning with the launch of Splatoon 2.

At the current sales rate, it doesn't seem like Switch shipments will reach 5m by the end of June.

All numbers in this post apply to worldwide sales.

I'm a little worried at this point as well. Doesn't seem like they are shipping more than 150k WW per week. At this rate, the Switch will be continuously outsold by consoles with far less demand. 

If they can't move 6-7 million before Odyssey comes out they are really killing off sales that should have been a lock, not to mention eliminating absolutely all impulse buys. 

It's rather worrying. I'm beginning to be emotionally invested in their supply problem . Pains me to see them struggle so much, but then Wii was supply constrained for a long period of time (until 2008 in my country) and it sold a lot. Let's cross fingers they work that out!
