Its around 4 million according to the NPD for the quarter, in Japan 2.5 million(week 1 on Famitsu was over 300K and there is MyNintendo sales unaccounted for).
Europe is looking like it's up this holiday. France sold 1.45 mil which was confirmed, last year they sold a little under 500K in Spain, this year this is up. UK was over 1 mill and Germany is likely similar. So looking at these figures we can estimate that at least 2.5 million was sold through-out the entire Europe, Italy, Benelux, Nordics etc. If we base that 40% of annual hardware sales are made in the holiday quarter(usually it's closer to 60% but COVID impacted demand through-out the year). Overall I wouldn't' be surprised if Europe is over 3.5M just depends what falls under here.
Other region will be the one actually where Nintendo will see a drastic improvement - China, East Asia, Latin America etc will be providing the huge increase YoY, and I'm guessing at a smaller scale this was happening in Rest of Europe, Middle East, Africa, Australia & New Zealand.

I think Other region will surpass 4.5M this quarter and Nintendo will highlight the strong growth in their earning reports next month.
Edit
*made a mistake of reporting figures that are for the year, as if they were made in just this quarter
