That's very strange. In the whole 2017, Nintendo was delivering 75K Switch in average in Japan, and a lot more during the end of year season when production was reinforced. Why would they slow down manufacturing now?

There are Switches for sale on Amazon.jp right now, btw.

You're right re: the 75k/week figure. I mean, it's not hard to divide 3.12 million by 40 weeks. However, only March, October, November, and December managed to break that 75k figure, iirc

The problem with your reasoning here is that Nintendo appears to prefer using hardware restocks to encourage better sales for games at launch. Which means that - technically - artificial scarcity is at play here.

It's definitely a possibility. Bayonetta and Kirby week should tell us.
