Nintendo made a promise to better the Switch stock situation, and it seems like they've done just that. Even retailers feel like Nintendo is doing a better job, with GAME CEO Martyn Gibbs commenting on the matter.

"We've got enough Switch coming in on a week-by-week basis, Nintendo needs to take some real credit operationally for how they've managed to work this through. We've now got a constant supply of stock coming into the business on a weekly basis, Don't get me wrong I don't have [Distribution Centre] stuffed full of 100,000 units, but we do have a good, regular supply from Nintendo. The only reason that we wouldn't see [stock] is if demand picks up any further but I wouldn't see that as a bad thing.

...it's probably going to be the number one tech-toy for peak, so I think across those two spectrums and across such a wide-ranging base of gamers who all want to play Nintendo Switch I think we're clear it's got great demand, the absolute peak of that demand I don't think we're anywhere near yet."
