if this holds, I guess Nintendo did try to ship as many copies as possible but still failed to meet demand. One of these days they got to go for the star and have 4 millions first shipment for Pokemon on handheld. There is no way Pokemon would sell anything less than that.
Then again, it also depends on when the game goes gold and how much time they have to manufacture the units. Maybe it's impossible to manufacture that many units in the time allowed.
MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.
