Not saying you are wrong, but where can I find sold though numbers?

On this website.

VGChartz' Wii U sell-through estimates for 2012 and 2013 are in the correct ballpark because they have been verified with shipment data. The currently estimated sell-through for Switch lacks the same doublechecks because more official data has yet to be made available, but the more reliable sales trackers in Japan (Media Create, Famitsu) and the USA (NPD) have Switch beating Wii U with ease in a launch-aligned comparison, so any reasonable estimate for worldwide sales has to show the same. The Japanese trackers show Switch performing at 25-30k units per week whereas Wii U was 5-10k, NPD has Switch at over 200k per month whereas Wii U did ~50k.

VGC's accuracy can and should be doubted, but the margin between Wii U and Switch is so tremendous that it's 100% clear that the latter system is outselling the former by multiple times after the launch period. The Wii U's holiday launch makes things look much closer than they really are. The more sales data comes in, the clearer it gets that the two systems aren't playing in the same league.

So nothing official from Nintendo?
