Finally, when asked if Nintendo has already solved Switch’s stock issues, Kimishima said that for the time being, as we enter the new year this still hasn’t been completely solved. Though in Japan, the situation is more along the lines where customers don’t have to wait multiple days, and if they can’t buy it in one store they can find the system at another. In other words, Switch still has its stock issues, but the situation has improved.

@Bold So basically stock issues are non-existent from the consumer side ... (doubt Europe stock issues are true since it's been widely available at many retailers last year)

@OP The 40K baseline is indeed justified but not for what most reasons people think ...  

Switch was selling very fast in December in Europe, basically as much as March through November combined in some places. It's quite possible that they ate through the stocks and had some problems restocking, though I don't know if it is resolved by now. It will be interesting to see new numbers from different European countries and compare them with our numbers here on the site.
