I think most SSBB fans are long time Nintendo fans and have long since bought the machine .Japanese data seems to agree with my view .
Fils Aimee said they werent stockpiling at all .
I read some news about Nintendo diverting some of its january inventory to december pushing the manufacturing times in november-december to have the most inventary possible out there in the holidays .That seems to have been the case and the retail channel was dry for january .That explains the shortages ,no need for "stockpiling " here .
