I'm not convinced this is true (well it may be true morally but I don't think it's true legally). IIRC duplicate shipments are not considered Unsolicited Goods and in the UK you are legally required to inform the sender and return them if the sender requests.
Edit: This article[0] seems to suggest the same, but the Citizen's Advice link is broken.
Edit 2: This article[1] is better and includes a proper source[2].

- nielsole 9y agoIn Germany there is the concept of Unterschlagung: illegally taking hold of an object owned by someone else. Translates to embezzlement, but that's not quite it, I'd say. So here I am pretty certain you would have to contact Nintendo.
