According to the Wall Street Journal, main reason Nintendo was able to sell more consoles than they were expecting was due to them eating a lot of money on using two shipping methods.

Bulk of the Switches were done with regular sea shipping while smaller batches arrived by plane which cost them around $45 per console. Gave Nintendo the ability to rush more consoles out of China by plane when they were done rather than having to wait till they could fill the numbers needed for a sea shipment.
