What Zippy says is correct. Nintendo reports units sell-in (sold to retailer) aka units shipped, while here at VGChartz we report units sold to consumers. The gap between the two tends to be between 1 million and 3 million depending on how fast a console is selling. 

I see you're adjusting down the Switch numbers after todays fiscal report so just wanted to make sure you saw the slide where Nintendo mentioned they are "approaching" 150M sell through for the end of FY.

Rare we actually get something to do with sell-through from Nintendo. So was over tracked by >250k before adjustments.
