2017, because in 2020 it’s obvious it’s going to hit 100mil ;)

lol I would love for it to hit a 100mil, it definitely deserves to hit that mark.  But as long as this pandemic keeps going on the production of Switches will continue to decline.

Im not sure exactly what you are talking about, but Nintendo commented not to long ago that production was back to normal so sooner rather than later we will see stock being replenished fully

Not just that, Nintendo has actually increased production by 10% to try and meet demand.

The reason it's out of stock is not lower production, but simply very high sales. It's selling at over 300k weekly since early March, at a rate almost no other console has managed to do before. It even mostly keeps up with the best years of the DS in 1H console sales, a feat practically no other console even comes close to achieve.

Or to give you a bit more perspective, Switch sold so for this year as much as it did last year until early November last year - and that year it sold over 19M consoles. And it will pass the 60M sold consoles mark this month and 70M way before the end of this year.
