Seems that at least in Japan, Switch is doing pretty well YoY compared to Q4 2017 so far. Given Smash momentum, I could potentially see Q4 being very strong for 2018 still. Maybe not enough, but it's worth paying attention to.
What if the investors are vegetarian though?With everything we know, 19m+ seems like a lock, and when they are so close to 20m, they could easily little overship (so less than 1m) in order to meat goal.
Before Benji retired he said that it was doing excellent numbers in early January in the US too.
I think Q4 will see >4M shipped, but probably not as high as 5M. So it'll depend on what they shipped for Q3. 10.5M and up and I think they hit 20M, below that and they just miss it.
But yeah with that, Nintendo can probably write off 20 million. Its not happening
Yes, 19-21m seems like the realistic range. We'll have better insight after the Q3 report but it still might be a nailbiter to the end.With everything we know, 19m+ seems like a lock, and when they are so close to 20m, they could easily little overship (so less than 1m) in order to meat goal.
Nintendo originally gave the supply chain an estimate of 24 million units of Switch for calendar year 2018, but the actual shipments were less than 20 million, the sources pointed out
Although the Japan-based gaming firm is planning to release a cheaper version of the game console in 2019, the trend of decelerated order pull-in by Nintendo will continue and shipments for the calendar year 2019 are estimated to be around 14-15 million units.
Currently, components of Nintendo Switch are stored at the upstream supply chain, waiting to be assembled and shipped with Nintendo's instruction, the sources said. Nintendo is mainly pulling in orders judging by its channel sales and inventory level.
Based on upstream supply chain's estimates, Nintendo so far has sold around 40 million units of Switch worldwide.
It's already uo more than 100% in Japan for January iircStill think they will hit 20m. But January afterglow will be more important in this scenario.
What?After enjoying two years of strong sales, the game console is seeing demand approaching saturation and Nintendo has decelerated its order pull-in since the second half of 2018.
Uhm. Yeah.Based on upstream supply chain's estimates, Nintendo so far has sold around 40 million units of Switch worldwide.
Basically the whole of that article is wrong so yeah...it's really why I hate the internet because anyone can write whatever bullshit they want and not have any consequences.

I find it hard to believe the shipments for CY2019 will go down this much, with or without a new version.

54% increase so far over first three weeks (media create) I thin it's more for both Famitsu and Dengeki but not as high as 100%.
Still a very big increase.

I wonder when this interview was conducted. It could either give a hint about their position or just be a hilarious tidbit if in a few days they downgrade their forecast.Latest headline from Sankei

That seems like the same interview that's been floating around for a month or so, where Furukawa says the target is not easy but is achievable. I don't think this was done after December so they wouldn't have December's full numbers to look at.
The last interview was with Kyoto Shimbun and it's hard to believes Sankei will just take that and publish it under its own 'Breaking News' section though..
