It's not an accident but one of the confusing details in these ongoing arguments. Selling a console in November instead of October can be called stockpiling in most circumstances, but whenever we argued about Nintendo stockpiling here it was about the question if they have put back systems in Spring and Summer to sell them in Winter, which I think (and they say) they haven't. I really don't have an issue with stating some systems were shipped in October and sold not in November but in December.
