900k on shelves would mean that the vast majority of 3DS supply is in Japan.  708k based on MC numbers, 653k using Famitsu, or 642k using VGC.  That is the week ending the 4th.  If we use the week ending the 28th, there would be nearly 900k on Japanese shelves alone.

um, the vast majority of 3ds sales, throughout its life, have been in japan. for any sales period. so...

i'll be sure not to in the future... all i was saying is it's not some major overtracking, as some people are suggesting, of over 1m. it will reach 50m first day to week of new 3ds availability.

Umm, no, the vast majority of sales have not been in Japan.  Japan hasn't even had a slim majority of sales.  Throughout it's life the 3DS has shipped 37% of its units to Japan.  So why do you think around 80% of unsold supply being in Japan is reasonable?

Yes the overtracking was likely over 1m before the shipment numbers came out (they've been adjusted slightly already).  Even if you think there is zero supply on shelves outside of Japan we are talking about around 600k overtracked.
