The only reason these hardware numbers should be considered disappointing is if you expected the first batch of OLED shipments to be included, otherwise it's a really solid quarter.

The Switch OLED launched only 8 days after this shipment number. Surely OLED launch numbers ARE included in the shipped data. Consoles take more than 8 days to go from being shipped to being ready for sale at retailers.

This is why Shipped is always at least hundreds of thousands higher than Sell-through even if a console is completely sold out, because delay from being marked as shipped to being available for buyers.

Of course we know that OLED shipments weren't insanely high as week 2 plummeted and then bounced back in week 3. I'm sure this includes at least the week 1 stock for OLED's.

They aren't, Nintendo breaks down shipments by model and they did not include OLED shipments.
