It's a sign (hopefully) that Nintendo will stop undershipping their shit like the NES Mini. Plus game companies do this all the time, I don't see how this is different from those except Nintendo is doing it this go around

Well, if every game company is doing something kind of lame, and Nintendo does it too, it's still something kind of lame to do, regardless of everyone doing it, no?

Again, overshipping to inflate your numbers is something that tends to get criticised. It happened with Microsoft overshipping Xbox One's to retailers. It happened with Rockstar overshipping Max Payne 3 to stores. The answer of undershipping shouldn't be the opposite extreme, overshipping.

Problem is pokemon isnt overshipped. 

 

Pokemon XY shipped 7mil fw. End of year had 11.62mil shipped

 

ORAS was 7.7mil shipped under 2 weeks. It had shipments of over 9mil by years end. 

 

Sun/Moon has 10mil. Theyll sell way over 10mil sold thru and have at least 14mil shipped+digital by years end. 

 

Sun/Moon isnt overshipped. Its basically on point. Especially if sell thru fw could potienally be around 7mil FW (or more)
