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.

Bottom of page 10: "Sales units of Nintendo Switch include the Nintendo Switch - OLED Model, which started shipping from
the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022."

They combined Switch + Switch OLED sales in the graph, only Lite is separate.
