Side question: are the vgchartz Switch numbers even updating? lol. I feel like it's been at 142m forever, despite Switch selling over half a million a month. Weren't Nintendo's numbers 143+ at the mid-year point? I know Nintendo releases shipment numbers and not sell-through in the quarterly reports, but still why is vgchartz estimate still at 142? Seems like through August it should at least be at 143m, I'd guess real-time sales are probably more like 144m by now. Maybe I'm crazy, just feels like vgchartz has barely moved the lifetime numbers for the past like half year.

Switch shipped 143.42M by end of june. However sold until then were around 141.5M. July and August sold about 650k which makes it almost 143M by now. You may see 142M a lot, because when you see 141.5M or 142.7M in your mind it's still 142M. Also there are adjustments happening often, and lately they were adjusted down. This is also something .. With the new September data, Switch should finally break the 143M mark and reach somewhere around 143.5M
