Is it really shipped numbers and forecast?
On page 8 of the report it's written "(4) Consolidated sales units, number of new titles, and sales units forecast" as the title of the numbers we are talking about.
So is Nintendo forecasting 17M units sold by the end of march '19?
This is a bit confusing.

 

EDIT. If it's really 17M sold we could look at ~18.5M shipped, which is still below 20M

Its always shipped.

When Nintendo (or any other publisher for that case) talks about sold they always mean "sold to retailers" unless they explicitly mention "to customers"

Oh ok thanks. That's what i didn't get
