I haven't seen any but I kind-of would expect that ...

Nintendo (probably) had a decent sized shipment for North America for launch day, and may have followed that up with a second shipment on Tuesday/Wednesday heavily targeting the United States for Thanksgiving/Black-Friday.

While I wouldn't expect this many systems to have been shipped, Nintendo could have shipped 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 units if they anticipated 300,000 to 500,000 sales for launch and 700,000 to 1,200,000 sales on Black Friday; both numbers are massive but not that unusual for launch and/or Black Friday.
