Nintendo undershipping games to make people go DL it for a bigger chunk of the pie.

Fire Emblem, Luigi's Mansion, MH3U...heck they likely saw the godly profits that AC was raking in by having a 33% DL ratio.

I still doubt this but if the trend continues then yeah.

It's going to bite them in the ass later if they are doing it.

On the other hand, retailers have a history of under-ordering certain kinds of games on Nintendo consoles. I remember Muramasa as an example of a game that almost no retailer in Europe bothered stocking. They simply decided it wasn't going to sell. They may have made the same decision about Monster Hunter 3U.

Lack of distribution is exactly the kind of problem that the eShop can solve.
