The translation is actually somewhat weaker quarter. 

You're aware they give outthose Q&A reports in english, too? Because here you can read it all in english: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2018/qa1806e.pdf

ftware during this fiscal year will not be an
easy challenge to meet, but we are putting all of ou
r efforts into doing just that. If you look at our
software lineup for the fiscal year that we showed at
E3, you can see a relative
trend that the titles
that resonate mosh hardwithin expectations
when looking at our soft
ware lineup for the entire
fiscal year.

In other words, yes, sales slowed down a bit compared to the previous quarter and possibly to the same quarter last year (the phrasing is a bit ambiguous, it can also mean that it's just not impressively more than compared to last year's Q1 numbers. However, it's probable to be slightly down). On the other hand Nintendo was fully expecting it because their main game lineup was all in the second half of the year. He's saying that sales are going up since E3, so it can't have been that badly received.

Edit: sorry for the formatting, tried to copy/paste out of the pdf and it messed up something.

Obviously nintendo are gonna say they are fully expecting it to play it cool, don't really care what nintedo said really, they have been off with there 3ds and wiiu forcast every year they won't change it till they know 100% they can't make that number. BTW the official  translation just came out. For nintedo to mention this early means, its not gonna be pretty 1.5-1.7 million is what i expect for shipments.
