The thread said 40m cause a small portion of Switch sales aren't tracked by Famitsu so currently it's actually higher than 35.5m since at the last quarter report shipments to Japan were at nearly 37m when Famitsu said just under 35m and the gap between shipments and consoles sold to consumers is of course not 2m in Japan. I sometimes forget about that and we'll need to give it a couple more weeks since it's possible this is just an unusually low April week like 11 was for March but it's for sure not a good sign to already hit another low point for the year.

AFAIK, a lot of Switch systems are being shipped from Japan by resellers to other Asian countries due to the weak Yen, and Famitsu has been counting most of them. But perhaps not all if the gap is this large?

If I remember right it's cause ones that are bought directly from Nintendo are not tracked by Famitsu.
