The question isn't that nintendo could plan to manufacture more than they will ship, that point is acceptable. The point that is ridiculous is having 5M in stock, plus 3M on shipping channels, all to arrive on the lower selling quarter.

We going in circles so for last time, I gave you couple of times reasinble reasons why even 5m maybe could be possible (maybe they have information that there will again be shortages of Switch parts on market, maybe they got some great deals for some Switch parts, maybe they are not still sure how much they can sell so maybe they think its better to have more units available than to have again stock problems..). And again its not like they would produce those 5m in one day and than conserve them for next FY, they could start producing couple of hundred thousand more units per month and then depanding from sales and demand on market, to speed up or slow down production.

So all this is big maybe, nothing is certain or set in stone, but those are one of posibilites.

It doesn't matter if it was made slowly over every single month to add up to 5M or on the last quarter they bumped a lot... the point is overstuffing their inventory by what would be more than 1 quarter of sales (and still producing normally, plus what was on channel) would mean like 1 semester of 1.5B of inventory sitting around. That makes no sense but you are right, besides being off-topic it will go circle, and you know you won't ever find evidence of any console maker to make so much over their estimate sales.
