Supposedly, Games Data Library indicated that the Switch actually did make it to the 6 million mark in 2020.

At 6.26m Nintendo Switch just had the 3rd all time biggest year for hardware sales in Japan, just behind the top years of the Nintendo DS

Most unusual for a Nintendo platform to peak so late during its lite. pic.twitter.com/rqGzz7Cdwz

Not sure if people can confirm that or not..

(...)

The tweet is most likely citing Media Create figures. Media Create had a week 53 in 2020, so that explains the difference to Famitsu which counts 2020 as a 52-week-year.

Good to know. Nevertheless, its an incredible feat to even sell that well, or close to it, (and dominating the competition) considering the circumstances.
