There are layers to this.

If it were a system like the Xbox Series, Xbox One, or 3DS that was readily available, but on average, nowhere near the levels of the Switch, PS4, or PS5 in terms of global demand, then 1.4 million is a very good number and maybe even a little under-tracked.

But for something like the Switch, which is still selling at a very high level despite slowing down this year, the amount of consoles Nintendo needs to manufacture and ship out to meet demand is much higher than it was for something like the 3DS. And for a system that had a brand new SKU launching a week after these numbers came in, expectations MUCH higher.

Didn't you notice a slow down in sales after the announcement of the OLED ? It even got a price cut in Europe.

For me it makes total sense. And in Europe we can still find V1 Switches sold at 269€ (or even 266€ on Amazon) while the OLED is hard to find

Of course I did. So I assumed that the number would be higher because they would be stock-piling OLED units for the launch while cutting back on the Lite and V2 models. Which I assume they did anyways. And despite that, it's still below 93 million and couldn't even match 2019's Q2 numbers. That's a little disappointing.
