The translation of Nikkei’s report reads“prioritized securing initial stock of successor machines and the lineup of popular software at the time of release, including measures to prevent resale.”What this means is that Nintendo first wants to avoid scalping. This is when some people buy as many units of a newly-released product because they intend to thenresell them at higher prices, taking advantage of the low-stock situation.

Overall, it looks like Nintendo is preparing heavily for a successful launch. The report from Nikkei also talks about how the “successor model” gets a bigger screen. This was stated to be6.2 inchesfor the base Switch 2 variant.
