Nintendo forecast for 3ds in FY16 was 5m, it was increased to 6m after Pokemon GO, and fairly later to 7m, they ended up selling 7.3m ( Pokemon S/M ) ...
It sold out all of its stock in the USA on holidays, and you can guess what ensued...
Also, it's highly likely that the same happend in Europe, boost from pokemon go and the sales after that were equal between these two markets! Maybe just 2DS sold out there, last year 2DS account for the 50% of 3DS sale in Europe...

I hope you read rol's enlightening post in the link that I quoted you previously...
Aren't you still working at best buy ?
Nintendo is about to fix the stock issues once and for all with the release of the best 3DS ever revision, which cost 50$ less than New 3ds xl, New 2ds xl in the end of July... Well, if thee amount of units that will be made will be congruent with the demand forestalling a probable selling-out...

Thankfully I haven't worked at Best Buy in about 3 years. Dunno why you thought I still did.
The stock issues seem to be fine, at least in the US in NYC. I can get one at any Gamestop in my area. Most of them even have the Galaxy model. I'm almost tempted.

Yeah, as you might have seen, I have updated my thread about the 3DS scarcity in the USA and notified people that Nintendo finally restocked new 3ds xl ( 2DS too ) on May...
( Black and Galaxy style color variants ) So, I'm not suprised with what you are saying!
If you don't care for 3D effect, just wait for New 2ds xl, you get the * best 3ds ever made for 149$ with a charger! Unless, you're a collector!
