Yeah how many times is this going to be covered? Until next weeks sales come in?
My best possible guess is that shipments come in at irregular intervals, and last week it just so happened that they got two in the same week (thus the 200k sales), but this week they didn't manage to get any in, or only a small amount. We'll probably see the sales bounce all the time simply because there might not be a continuous stream of supply in every week.
At the same time, they are stockpiling, but this bouncing has nothing to do with that. They probably take 200k a month from what they produce and stockpile it... over 9 or 10 months, that equals nearly 2 million for holidays, though they might release as much as 500k of that for new releases. To say they aren't stockpiling is nonsense... every company out there stockpiles, and just because there are mass sellouts doesn't mean they don't do it too.
Hopefully Nintendo will increase production to at least 2.5 million so that the shortage won't be as bad and supply will be more constant.
