The bold part is very vague and just claims that this problem will be solved, but it doesn't give any explanation why that should be the case.
Anyway, I googled around and found some more information on this.
Indeed, there are reports particularly mentioning supply issues for the 32GB flash memory chip produced by Toshiba:

But according to the teardowns by iFixit and techinsights:

...the 32GB flash memory chip was placed on a separate storage board, probably in order to be able to use flash memory chips from multiple manufacturers and with different capacities. Apparently, Nintendo is already using different flash memory chips from at least two different companies (Toshiba and Samsung):

So those eMMC flash memory chips do not really explain the supply problems; the Switch hardware is by design not limited to one particular flash memory chip that might have supply issues, it is compatible with various flash memory chips from multiple companies. So getting a few million eMMC flash memory chips can't be an unsolveable problem for Nintendo.
So please, give me another, better explanation why Nintendo should suddenly be able to significantly ramp up production in Q4. The explanations so far do not sound very convincing to me.
