There were plenty of reports of it hard to find the standard Switch towards the end of the holidays. Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo ends up shipping 20 million by the end of the fiscal year. 

This Quarter I'd say we're pretty likely to see around 4m sold-through, with a 1.76m forecast it seems pretty clear that there's a lot of excess stock as Rol says. Sure Nintendo will likely exceed their forecast but they'll have to by quite a bit, because otherwise we'd be looking at 54m sold-through to 54.24m shipped by March 31st. 

At 20m shipped this FY it'd still be 54m sold to 54.74m shipped, very close.

VGC figures for January almost exceed the quarter forecast shipment already.

Funny. Not gonna happen.
