That's correct. Nintendo is talking about sell-through through six weeks and provides the figure for AC while figures for other games are undisclosed.

Pokémon Sword & Shield shipped 16.06m copies during its launch quarter (roughly six weeks on sale), but shipped isn't the same thing as sell-through. The new Pokémon shipped only 1.31m during its follow-up quarter despite robust continued sell-through; that points to overshipping in the launch quarter.

In any case, we cannot tell how many units other Nintendo games sold through in their first six weeks, but we do know that Nintendo isn't going to lie in a statement to investors. AC is definitely the fastest-selling Nintendo game ever, with fastest being defined as a timeframe of six weeks from launch.

The shipped/sold issue is what I was going to bring up next.  I found a graphic online for sold figures for the Pokemon games but I haven't verified the numbers yet.

That should be fine as that's Nintendo's graphic
