1) Nintendo already stated they will have bigger shipments in July and Avgust and that production will further increase starting in the fall.

2) Demand rises with every bigger launched, you can bet now with Splatoon 2 demand is even stronger, and offocurse demand for Switch will huge in holiday season in any case.

3) XB1X is totally irrelevant for Switch, difrent games, difrent concept, difrent price point, that's console for high end market (4k), and battle will mostly be Pro vs XB1X.

1) Nintendo saying that they will increase shipments is not them guaranteeing that they will double their shipments.

2) This is not even remotely accurate: would a new WiiU, 3DS, or X1 launch increase the current demand of any of those systems? 

3) While possible, we have no assurances that parents and chilidren unable to buy a Switch won't spend their money on a Black Friday/Christmas X1X or PS4P. Likewise, until there is a genuine marketing push, we have no assurances that the public's attention won't shift towards it and away from the 2 current leaders. 

1) We dont know how much they will increase shipments, my guess is that they aiming regular availability for holiday season. In any case, they dont need to double producaction in order to hit 10m, they basically just need to have around 1m sales of each month (maybe they will have lover than 1m per month next few months, but they will have bigger shipments in holiday season in any case).

2) I was talking about system seller games, Splatoon 2 is big system seller, you can bet that demand for Switch now is bigger than before Splatoon 2 launch, I will not even mentioned Mario Odyssey and holiday season.

4) Well availability is totally different issue, if Switch will supply constrained even in holiday season, they will again sale any unit they can ship in any case. But point is that demand is still very strong, and now because Splatoon 2 is even stronger, its hard to believe that demand will be less in holiday season in any case, espacily with Mario Odyssey launch.
