No I understand it quite well

They would not have sold out all consoles at launch if they only sold it in NA like Sony did. I know for fact that you could walk in Gamestops in both Dallas and Pitt and get and Xbox One without a preorder. I also know Best Buys in Philly area were still selling Xbox One after the first 24 hours.

So adding 4-500 K into the NA launch would mean no sold out since they really didn't do so to begin with

There were places in Australia, in 2006, where you could walk into a game store a few days after the Wii launch and still find Wiis... they were, in most places in the country, sold out very quickly, but there were some places where they were still available.

In other words, a couple of data points does not make information. You know of certain stores that were still selling units after 24 hours... what about the rest of them?

What you have committed is called "confirmation bias" - you observe a couple of stores with some stock left, and ignore all the stores with none left, because doing so allows you to say "there are stores with stock left over", which supports your preconceived idea.
