Nintendo making millions of Switch units for the holidays, but says production line has "multiple choke points"

Coming from a Financial Times interview with Reggie Fils-Aime...

I’m going to make millions of these units to flow into the marketplace. But what I don't know is what the demand is going to be. And there is a potential that demand is going to outstrip supply. There is not one choke point, there are multiple choke points. I won't go into any more detail but it's not just one component.

This is Nintendo's way of saying they'll be producing all the Switch units they can for the holiday season, but they don't know if they'll be able to keep up with demand. Get ready for the Switch shortage to roll on, gang.
