Just _Ben wasn't arguing that there has been no stockpiling, he was saying it has had a lesser part to play than we (many of us) think.
There is a lot of evidence to show they did stockpile some for Christmas, and I am pretty sure they did, but taking away 3X1.8million from what was shipped in Q3 is not what was stockpiled.
As for the recent weeks, it is pretty difficult to tell if any stockpiling is happening, and if it is it will be miniscule.... what we are seeing currently will just be Nintndo not having settled into regular weekly shipments properly.
