Perhaps it´s a combination of both theories.

That's a stretch to say that a company would risk not meeting demand, I don't care who's numbers you're looking at. That sounds like a more logical conclusion to Gamestops claims.

Once they decided to offer stronger straps they went back through all unshipped inventory to change the old straps to the new ones. A major operation like that would disrupt supplies for quite awhile.
