Riot does try to release overtuned champions, but the main reason isn't sales.

First off, PBE is not the ideal environment to tune champions effectively. So live play is needed to find what needs to be fixed. Now, the more people play a champion, the bigger your sample will be to analize what to do. How do you get more people to play your new, just released champion? How do you make them bypass the wall that is not knowing how its kit works? You overtune that champion so that more people are willing to play it. Even if there are some exceptions like Ornn as already said, this is the general rule of thumb.

If people liked to play underpowered champions Riot would try to release their champions undertuned more often instead.
