When I was a manager at GS in 2007 Nintendo would purposely send us 2-4 units at a time and a space of about 2-4 weeks in between shipments. No way in hell was it that hard to manufacture a overclocked Gamecube 360's were selling like crazy and we still had a bunch stacked in the back room and that was a state of the art machine. So yes Nintendo does it. It's good business. Create a high demand with low supply. It's a tried and true tactic. Switch is popular yes but Nintendo wants the hype to ride for not just popular but creating even more demand for a double edge sword.

I remember those days.  Though thinking about it, Nintendo's run by a bunch of old men out of touch, so I just think they were expecting to sell what they're making.  The problem is that it'll take a few months for Nintendo to ramp up production, which I doubt they'll do.  And when they do decide they need to ramp up production, it'll be too late.
