It sold through 65% of it's initial shipment... So Ninty shipped about a million.

Either they were going with the pokemon strategy of having LOADS of stock available from the get go to be able to satisfy every purchase, or they along with many people from the COMG thread expected it to do even better than it did.

well, it's the shops that order the copies based on their preorders/sales expectations

they'll certainly be able to sell out this initial shipment, but it may take a few days longer than expected due to the Switch shortages

That hardware bottleneck is certainly a problem over there. They'll have to resolve it somehow, or else they risk killing the momentum.
