This looks like they are going to send out only the bare minimum and then kick off the new fiscal year with some big numbers, kinda like that Wii stockpiling in 2008 when March was moderate and then April (GTA IV month) sent shockwaves through the industry and internet. Those were some epic meltdowns.

This is most likely exactly what Nintendo is planning on doing. The only question I have is why they didn't simply launch the product at the start of the new fiscal year unless they're planning on letting media coverage of the "extreme shortages" and subsequent sell outs help market and build the 3DS name as regular supplies are released to retail.
