the predictions/discussion here is referring to totals for CY 2019 rather than FY 2019 correct?

i think some people are slightly overestimating the size of switch's holiday quarter this year. it will be great for sure, but last year was truly phenomenal - imo, pokemon + lite pales in comparison to pokemon LG + smash. the main reason i'm not expecting numbers to be significantly down is that there is a fantastic catalogue of games released this year that remain enticing going into the holidays; ring fit is becoming a massive hit to pull in a different audience; and the lite is still a bit of a wildcard.

p.s. i think this is my first time posting here since like 2018 haha

If November+December aren’t up from last year, they will atleast be flat. There is no way that it will be down. The lite is made to shine in the holidays

that's kind of what i'm saying though. i feel like ppl are seeing the massive 30%+ its up yoy so far and think that will continue. 

if it were exactly flat, for example, it would sell another 7.9 million after this week - which brings it under the 20 million most are expecting.

again though, there is a possibility itll be up a bit for the holidays, just not nearly as much as it has been the rest of the year.
