Nintendo has three choices:
1) Release all produced units into the market leading to a massive shortage in during the holidays.
2) Release very few units into the market leading to a current large shortage but being fully supplied for the holidays.
3) Release a decent amount of units into the market now but saving some for the winter leaving a slight shortage now and during the holidays.
#1 is bad for holiday consumers. #2 is bad for summer consumers.
I'd say #3 is best for most consumers, which is probably what Nintendo is doing.
