I've been saying they won't ship 20m since about a year ago, but now I am ready to eat my words. I made that statement thinking there would be no mainline Pokemon game this year. And while there technically wasn't, they released something close enough that is selling extremely well. Also their third party games have been performing better this year than I expected, and they have a strong quarter coming up with the port of NSMB U.
If they don't ship, 20m then they are going to get really close.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
My Bet With curl-6
