So... Will Nintendo be able to ship those 20 million Switch units?

I think they already know they're not hitting 20 mill. That was likely largely a target based around Labo become a hit sales driver that would've built through the summer and blown up as a must have holiday gift for kids with tons of social media buzz, but it's nowhere close to that.

But there's no point in revising down now. They'll wait until Q3 (Christmas quarter) is over and revise the forecast down in January to something more realistic.

Anything above 17.5 mill is not bad, the PS4 did 17.7 its second full fiscal year so you can't exactly be mad with say "only 18.3" or something.

If they are certain know they dont hitting it, they would lowered forecast few days ago.

Even if they dont hit 20m, they will be close to I dont think they will sell less than 18m (9-10m in Q3 and 3-4m in Q4).
