Train wreck on 04 March 2013
So you have some 50,000 returns and according to cream sugar (from GAF) the makeup of most sales is like 85/15 between premium and basic. Thats close to 18 million dollars worth of returns not including accessories and games that were returned with said systems. Thats a lot of money to eat post holiday for any retailer and would cause them to pause any future ordering.
At current sales rates, it would take 5 weeks to work that supply off.
EDIT: assuming any of this is true. Nintendo gave no update (since the report was weak) during the NPD time and patcher said that software sales wouldn't line up with a system that sold 100k so i guess this month would give a better indication.
