It largely depends on how much stock they put in Japan. They said production was being ramped up and they plan to supply 16 million consoles by March 2018. I think Japan will get and sell at least 3.5 million of those by Jan 2018.

I think it can make around 4 and 5 millions.

I got the joke... I'm just saying you would never represent 3.141592M as such, because you've included the whole number, the contraction and use of decimel have become redundant.

I mean... it was a bad joke to being with, but now 3 messages into explaining why the whole number doesn't work just makes it a real rib rattler I find :D

1.6 million

4-5m

I'd say 3.60M

The hype is strong and the announced games will keep the sales high, too.

2.5M-3M

Less than 2M is a failure, more than 3.5M is a huge success.

I'm confident about the Switch's prospects in Japan so I'll say between 2.5-3.5 million in 2017. Easily ahead of the PS4's 1.6-2.2 million.

2,5 mln

Shipped = Sold
