The only major drop during the holiday this year was the US in December thanks to a lack of deals. Japan sales were up during this holiday quarter, Europe sales were also basically flat (-15% for the year despite being down significantly more during the non-holiday months), and even the US was flat or up during November due to Black Friday promotions. Even accounting for holiday overshipping last year (Nintendo should have shipped about 6.3m instead of 6.9m), this holiday's strong holds means that Switch shipments should come over 5.5m minimum unless Nintendo undershipped, probably close to 6m.

So much? I guess 4,7 million. Why 5,5?

Please re-read the post you just replied to, Switch holiday sales were flat in Japan and Europe this year, and only down significantly in December in the US. If we take the fact that shipments were 0.8m behind sales in Q1 2024 (1.9m vs 2.7m), and say that Nintendo should have shipped 6.1m during Q4 2023 instead of 6.9m, that puts the shipment total at a minimum 5.5m unless they shipped less than they sold.
