Iwata confirms in investor Q&A session that the west coast port strike has had an impact on N3DS/Amiibo shipments.

California's famous navel oranges and Washington's apples are rotting in the hot L.A. sun. Meanwhile, Japanese electronics and Chinese clothing items are bobbing in the ocean within view of the shore.

The Pacific Maritime Association has accused the International Longshore Workers union of creating a work slowdown that has turned harbors into parking lots and shipping containers into putrid garbage bins.

Right now, the giant container ships that are the United States' pipeline of material to and from Asia are sitting idle in the ocean off of the West coast. There's no labor or equipment available to load and unload goods, the port association says.

I don't count 'remarkably well' as 'everything except the first wave being sold out everywhere on a constant basis'
