I think they probably undershipped, my Best Buy got like 6 total for people who didn't pre-order.
I suspect there's a glut of old 3DS/2DS inventory still stuck in the North American pipeline, which is why they're not shipping a ton of New 3DS right away, but they have to release it now otherwise it will miss the fiscal year forecast which ends in March.
That said if it is a solid launch maybe Nintendo will see that doing things like marketing on Walking Dead/Better Call Saul actually paid off, which would be a good thing.
