Your 2020 is laughably low, even the Wii didn't crash hard enough to keep up with those numbers of yours.

You're expecting way too much from the Next gen launch. Switch got tons of hype, but did that make the PS4 come down crashing? Nope, instead it went on becoming it's best year ever. Also, I'm pretty sure the next gen will have a slow start, as the gap between the Pro/X and the next gen will be rather small visually.

Edit: On topic: I think they will give 20M a second try. And since there will be tons of great games throughout the year I actually expect the Switch to beat the expectation from Nintendo this time around.

 Yesterday at the last Nintendo Direct people could see how 3rd party games looked worse or even awful on Switch compared to PS4/XBO, and most of them were not very demanding or recent games. How is Switch going to look in 2020 with the next gen then??.

Are we generalise things? I only saw that kind of comments just for Assassin's Creed 3 and Dead by Daylight, bad port is bad port, it doesn't matter about what platform we talking about. And huge majority of people were talking how different kind of games in Direct we saw, both 1st party and 3rd party, no how 1 or 2 games looked bad, and guess what, Switch will only getting much more different 3rd party games in any case. Switch will not stop receving games because PS5/XB2, buy time they arive Switch will be platform with install base of around 70m and will be very healthy platform in any case, so offcourse that plenty of 3rd party will keep releasing games for Switch, I mean its not like that Switch is getting even now plenty of AAA current gen games that next gen will effect on Switch support.

Talking about sales, Super Mario Maker 2 launch in June is huge difference compared to last year, we are getting big Switch game at end of Q1 of FY19, while we in 2018. we needed to wait Q3 of FY18 for big game, and Nintendo itself that main reason why they will not hit 20m goal in FY 2018. is lower sales in April-September period, this year same period will be quite stronger when comes to releases.
