I'd say it's more likely that the problem is retailers underordering. Many retailers use preorders to determine how many copies of each title to order, but that can be a misleading metric since there are likely substantial differences in the demographics of gamers who habitually preorder games and those who rarely or never preorder games. Nintendo tends to sell to a fairly demographically broad audience, while I'm fairly certain that the habitual preorderers are a relatively narrow demographic.
