How confident are you that Nintendo will reach their 20 million target for Switch this year?

[Slam Tilt]

No it doesn't, it comes out March 29th, 2 days before the end of the FY.

Yeah, I can easily 2 million folks at Gamestop buying Switches en masse at the midnight Yoshi release on March 29th... ;-)

I know you're joking but the people lining up to buy the consoles aren't important, it's the face that Gamestop will have some extra consoles in reserve for a big launch that helps Nintendo's shipment goal.

I just noticed I voted for the 4th option months ago. What was the exact number for PS4 in 2016?

Send a gazillion systems to retailers but have them hide them all in the back room. BOOM. You've now created artificial shortages while at the same time stuffing the channel.

Genius.

Absolutetly no way. Casual game + Pokémon Go integration + Nintendo Switch bump = more than 20 million copies for Lets Go Pikachu/Eevee.

Quote this next year.
