Well, the last time they reported Switch numbers, they were off by like 1M+ units when Nintendo did their FY meeting. I tend to give VGC the benefit of the doubt more than often but I've been burned using the estimates in the past. And that was moreso my fault, as they are what they are; estimates. 

I don't think it was adjust up, Switch was adjusted slightly down for end of 2017 and early 2018 as far as I remember.

Found an article from 16th March (so before FY meeting) saying the figures as of Feb 24th were 15.016m, currently they're 14.966m for that week, so it has been adjusted down slightly, there's been no evidence that they were 1M+ units off.

My memory must be shit then, lol. I could have sworn that they had to adjust up the last time... I'm talking about this;

Maybe I'm wrong or talking about the wrong thing, but during their investors meeting on March 31st, they reported 17.79 Million units, but I may be thinking sold through vs. shipped, but I'm going off numbers that Nintendo is giving. 

Edit: Yes, It just clicked with me that I'm referring to units sold to retailers, but even then those are still only estimates.
