Nooooooo switch losing its momentum when it seemed strongest

 

I really thought that Nintendo had the stock issues in control, by now, in NA. Probably, Amazon was being stingy with their Nintendo orders again.

As far as I can tell, stock issues seem much worse on Amazon than anywhere else.   I think Amazon's lax approach to dealing wuth scalpers who gobble up tons of stock via bots .5 seconds after the new stock comes in has made them somewhat last in line for shipments.  And not just from Nintendo, some PS4 bundles had momentary stock issues earlier this year that were totally anomalous relative to the rest of the market.  Not nearly as bad as the Switch of course.

New stock is coming to Amazon in the coming week according to the site.
