So, VGChartz has Switch at 39.7 million sold through as of 19th of October.

Nintendo has it at 41.67 shipped as of 30th September.

Could the disparity be accounted for by units on shelves and in transit, or are adjustments in order?

Adjustments are in order.

Why? 1'97M on shelves/transit after the big launch of a new model and just before the lauch of a new Pokemon is perfectly fine in my opinion. I don't think adjustments "are in order" at all. 

On topic: Exceptional results. Lite collaborated a lot in the numbers of course. Software sales for evergreen titles remain great too. Pokemon Sword & Shield is ready to be the second best launch after Super Smash Bros Ultimate. If Switch is already at 41'67M shipped just before Holiday season and Nintendo still expect around 18M for the fiscal year then, i expect around 8'5M for Q3 and 3M for Q4, or maybe 9'0M for Q3 and 2'5M for Q4 (it should be around 11'0-11'5M between Q3+Q4). That will put Switch around 53M units shipped in 3 years. Very very impressive...

Regarding units sold to consumers in 2019, if those numbers are right Switch would be then around 48'5-49M units sold, so around 19-19'5M units sold to consumers in all 2019. There still a possibility Switch overperforms and reach 20M. We'll see...
