My theory: Nintendo has a lot of high paid people studying how much demand there is. They are releasing about what the demand is. They are stockpiling them because when the big games come out demand goes up. Why have extra ones just sitting on shelves, when another region has demand go up and they can't get them because they are in the US.
Short version: They send different quantities to different places each week so that the maximum amount are sold to consumers; it's less likely that systems will be sitting unsold in one area and undershipped in another.
Basic business of what to do when demand exceeds supply. Thank you.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
