Switch surpassed Nintendo’s global estimates, bolstering manufacturing facilities, more

Really, GAME retailer is blaming poor results compared to previous year on Switch constraints?
I don't think Switch is selling less than Wii U last year, so that sounds pretty pathetic an explanation.

And does Nintendo even own their own assembly facilities to "bolster" in the first place?
Or does "Placing bigger long term order to Foxconn et al" just sound insufficiently sexy?

They don't talk about last year.  They are talking about expectations for this year.  They thought there would be more Switches for them to sell, but there aren't, and that is severely cutting into their profits for this year.
