An article was already posted about how Nintendo will ship an extra 3.5 million units during the holidays (their sales estimates rose from 14 million to 17.5 million).
Also, he said production was 1.8 million per month, but even rough sales estimates from VGchartz leaves about 500,000 units unaccounted for (VERY rough estimate) this past month. So it's quite likely they haven't shipped out every unit produced and have some stockpiled to release during the holidays.
