I think option 3 is the most likely ...
At the launch of a videogame system people (tend to) gravitate towards a handful of titles, and it isn't uncommon for a single game to sell to 1/3 to 1/2 of the userbase. While it is possible that retailers have a significant supply of units knowing that many of these launch games will sell (fairly) well for the next few months, I would doubt that they would have (roughly) 700,000 units on store shelves.
