They wouldn't have over 200k units as leftover. Another thing when comparing total numbers from Famitsu and Nintendo is that based on Famitsu's numbers the MyNintendostore sales would be negative this last quarter.

This observation was made by @Hiska-kun on Installbase.

Also them sending smaller shipments on purpose doesn't make sense when they literally had stock issues with completely sold out stores. Nintendo says they have semiconductor shortages.

Smaller shipments are to be expected, since Nintendo already expected numbers to be down YoY before their adjustment this quarter.

Do we have definitive proof that Nintendo doesn't provide Famitsu with MyNintendostore numbers?

Famitsu and Media Create numbers have always been lower than Nintendo's especially when there are shortages. They have never reflected MyNintendostore sales in any capacity. Apparently 2017, 2020 and 2021 the sales on that store were particularly high and Nintendo's shipments were accordingly higher than what the trackers reported.
