Nintendo president Satoru Iwata revealed last week that 1.5 million 3DS units will be shipped to Japan by the end of March. How much product will be available on launch day, though?

Well, a retailer is under the impression that the number will be around 400,000 units. This is quite a low figure, all things considered. The retailer believes consumers should pre-order when the program begins on January 20th due to the small shipment. It would probably be best to do the same in North America and Europe, too. Only 2.5 million 3DS units will be shipped outside of Japan, which means that the US, UK, and plenty of other territories will be forced to share the inventory.

Nintendo has already confirmed that the 3DS launch date and price will be announced this Wednesday. More information about the handheld in general will be shared, and the press will be able to try out titles for a few hours. But could there be a surprise on the way as well? Jonathan Ross, who will be hosting the Amsterdam conference, posted the following on his Twitter account yesterday:

“A few other faves coming as well – plus a few unexpected revivals!! Can say no more, sorry.”

Also worth noting, when a fan said he is happy there will be a surprise and that he hopes Metroid will be at the event, Ross responded by saying, “I think you’re going to be pleased then…”

A NeoGAF member who will be attending the event posted the following nugget as well:

“Yup. Expect something cool out of the NYC/Amsterdam thing. From what I’ve been told, it will be shared between digital distributed stuff and physical.”

So, it looks as though there will be at least one new announcement for the 3DS at the conference. Wednesday just got a little more interesting!
