Wow, that is way undersupplied. Maybe I should get a few more preorders in so that my 3DS ends up being free. :)

Enjoy your red ocean, we'll be over here in our brand new blue ocean.

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

I guess Nintendo got it right. 3DS will launch in 26 feb 2011 in Japan. So they have at least one month before next shipment (according to their statement). I expect 400k-500k 1st week and 0.9-1.0 million 1st month. I dont think it will have serious supply constraint with higher price tag, weak launch titles, no big games like Mario,DQ, Pokemon, MH or FF and more expensive games.
