More about the Polygon article:

For comparison’s sake, the 196,000 NES Classics that Nintendo sold in the U.S. last month is almost as high as the number of Wii U consoles — 220,000 — that the company sold in the Americas during the six-month period from April through September.

More than a month after its release, the NES Classic remains nearly impossible to find.

It seems like Nintendo needs to do a wayyyyy better job to size demand, considering the "undershipping" theory is of course false according to our own experts.
