Of Course, with next week sales we entering holiday season and Nintendo definitely will prepare and ship much more units for holiday season compared to previous weeks. Nintendo recently said they increased production and they will start shipping much more units, and their plan is to ship around 7m Switch units during Q4 and of course most of that will go through holiday season.

Well that's the thing, Japan holiday season isn't like the West.  End december/january is popular for holiday releases and the famous winter sale that you may compare like ours (end november/December) That's why I expect them to send more to the West (and I guess now also a shipment to Korea) having 100K stock available weekly till end december should be an achievement.

Japan also have strong holiday season, 3DS in its 1st holiday season had 300-400k+ weeks, and Switch is still sold out every week in Japan and until now Japan received around 25% off shipments so there no sense to ship less for holiday season when they selling out everything they can ship in any case in Japan. So of course that Switch will easily have larger shipments than 100k through December, starting from next week shipments will start seeing 100k+ weeks, and in December shipments will be much larger.
