Good numbers, specially on SW.
But seems like the "pessimistic" won, they didn't hit the target for FY18 and their forecast for this year is 18M, so very far from 20-25M some were expecting here. At least 18M I believe is easily achievable by them, but doesn't seem like they'll pass PS4 at the end of cycle.

It was always a pipe dream, considering we do know how much the Wii and the 3DS sold in this very site and could make a reasonable estimate. But VGC has been like this for Nintendo hardware for over ten years already, if you want to know.

Software, on the other hand, seems pretty good. Except for the Yoshi game, which deserved more.

Edit - oh, that's just Yoshi's initial shipment. Didn't realize it had just released haha. So that's good.

20M I think is achievable this year, 25M was the too much optimism for me.

SW really is where it is shining a lot.

It still early to estimate what will be the end total, but 80-100M seems a safety bracket.

Rather than focusing on the fact that they missed their lofty goal, can we not simply appreciate how far the switch has come compared to Wii U? Only the Wii after the GameCube was probably a greater comeback in gaming history.

Some would say PS3 was the greatest comeback because it was made within the own generation without having to kill prematurely and cause all the discussions of Switch being gen 9.
