| ShadowLink93 said: With FY Q4 now done i wonder if Nintendo Switch will get the 4.05 million it needs to hit the 23m target. We know according to famitsu that Switch sold through around 1.4m for the quarter in japan which sounds great but last year it sold through 1.75m yet only shipped 1.16m, which suggest massive overshipments for Q3 in 2020. I hope the shortages mean't that Q3 2021 wasn't overshipped so that Q4 shipments come close to sell through numbers. Regional shipments below, up until FY 2019-20 Nintendo grouped Europe and Rest of the world shipment data together. Sales in millions.

To get an idea you can compare shipped vs sold gap. All rough estimates below specifically for the quarter(s).
April 2020
- September 2020- ~2.3m sold vs ~2.7m shipped. ~400k on shelves
- December 2020- ~4.25m sold vs ~5.4m shipped. ~1.15m on shelves
April 2021
- September 2021- ~2m sold vs ~2m shipped. ~traces on shelves
- December 2021- ~3.9m sold vs ~4.3m shipped. ~ 400k on shelves
The stock situation should not be as severely overshipped as last year.
Edit: Including LTD sold vs shipped gap for more clarity.
December 2020- 17.33m sold vs 18.88m shipped. ~1.55m on shelves
December 2021- ~23m sold vs 24.3m shipped. ~1.3m on shelves.
With LTD numbers it appears they might have overshipped again.
