I find it interesting that there is so much more canon shipping in Equestria Girls than there is in Friendship is Magic. I suspect that it is because the EqG target demographic is older (10-16 girls for EqG rather than the 6-10 of FiM, similar to the target demographic of Barbie and the EqG fashion toys).

I don't believe that there will be any overt primary character shipping in Friendship is Magic because the producers genuinely don't believe that the target demographic is interested in that. However, there will likely be more relationships in Equestria Girls because the producers believe (not without justification) that the target demographic of that show will be more interested in it. That's why I suspect that Sci-Twi/Timber and Rarity/Applejack will get a lot more attention as the franchise progresses.
