If it was up by millions for all the year, then suddenly sales get lower than the year before on the holidays, THAT is a big difference.

If it were down by millions, I'd agree. But not 300K and missing the new addition. And, who's to say those 300K weren't for an Xbox One , too? 

I'm clearly not gonna convince you. I'll wait for the numbers.

One piece of hardware and it's not about it selling more than the year before. It's about denying that it was affected. We do have some data already, showing ps4 selling less in 2017 holidays when compared to 2016. By "coincidence", that's when the switch finally got a considerable stock.

Japan is the only major region where the Switch's supply issues persisted late into the year. In the US, EU, etc, the Switch has been readily available for most for months (baring specific weeks, as with the PS4), so i'm not really sure i understand your point there.

Switch was selling out fast (just not instantly) in US and Europe too. This is about the switch not having enough stock to affect others early on. The holiday quarter almost doubled the stock for the previous 7 months and that's when it begun to take away more sales from other systems.
