In Jan-Mar Quarter of 2018, Nintendo shipped 2.93 million and so far this financial year their non-holiday quarters have been less than stellar. 

So adding 2.93 to 14.49 million would have given them 17.4 million. and expecting them to hit 18 million meant that they have to beat last year results by 20%, which is not an easy thing to do especially if there is no major software release on the horizon. 

So i think they have just been cautious which is a good thing at this point. 

New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe and Yoshi (so far)

I wouldn't bet on there being any other major titles this quarter. Also, Yoshi launches 48 hours before the financial year ends - so it's obviously not going to drive any meaningful hardware sales. Nintendo will be getting their ducks in order for the next financial year rather than banking anything on this quarter. Profit, revenue and software targets are all on track, after all.
