Nintendo's reported numbers are for how much hardware/software they have shipped/sold to retailers.
VGChartz's numbers are estimates on how many of those units have been sold on to consumers.
The difference is the number that are on shelves or in transit.
That said, the gap should be small at the moment given the Switch is selling out all over the world.
