Yeah but without the million shipped to NA, that region would be the neglected one and stock wouldn't be plentiful. The stock sent to NA is getting sold, I don't think they're in a situation where the console is heavily supply constrained in the US like at launch but I do think the consoles shipped don't sit on the shelves too long so they do need a constant supply in NA.

you make a good point but it seems they shipping very little to the country with the most demand.

Maybe they figured lost holiday sales in NA have more chance to be permanently lost than in Japan. What it points to is that Nintendo still doesn't have enough stock to cover demand worldwide and they have to make tough decisions on how to allocate the available units.
