You say it as if this 2-million-gap were something coming from Nintendo, but I actually see it more like a VGChartz thing. Most of the time, when quarter number releases, the difference between shipments and sold units are less than 2 million. After the release, the sold numbers are adjusted downwards and the gap goes back to 2 million. The question is not how long Nintendo will mantain this 2 million gap between shipments and units sold, is how long VGChartz will keep mantaing it

Nintendo did reveal "global sell-through approaching 150 million units" for the Switch 1 for the quarter ending March 31, 2025. So we have sell-through a hair below 150 million. That does mean the gap between shipped and sell-through is at least a little over 2.12 million as of March 31. Unless Nintendo states otherwise we plan to start shrinking the gap from here on out.

Hmmm, I see. I've never seen hardware sales information in these quarterly reports before. Are they frequent, or this was an one-off exception?
