First 12 months had about 3.8m sold for Wii U.

3.91M in the first 11 months.

So Switch can easily sell more in just two months, and actually two months that are not Holiday season months. Very impresive.

Tell that to Sega fans

I think they're quite happy that they can now enjoy SEGA games on all kinds of devices and don't have to buy an outdated piece of plastic every 5 years that only plays a fraction of the games they want to play.

When Sega went 3rd party you had to own PS2, Xbox, GC, GBA & PC in order to get have access to their full software output. I dont see how thats gppd for consumers.

Just like them saying they were planning to ship 2m units in March limited its sales to 2m...right?

You'd imagine post-launch predictions of future success would be easier to nail down then the 2m forecast they made for launch even before their pre-launch events.

But yes I'd imagine a forecast of 12.74m shipped by the end of March 2018 heavily indicates people predicting 15m+ (or even 17.5m) sold to consumers are reaching too high.

Nintendo projected 5 million for 3DS last FY, they had to adjust it up twice and it ended up doing over 7 million. Its not unheard of to increase or exceed sales forcasts.

Shipment forecast is guesswork as the forum predictions. Main factor is demand: Nintendo can only ship as much as is demanded by retail, which is driven by demand of the consumer. So they guess retail will demand 10M units over the year. Alone from this clearcut-number you see a lot of uncertainty, they don't say the project 9.56M units. So, if demand dies down in the coming months this number can be as low as 5 million or even less. On the other hand if demand is surging with Mario Kart, Splatoon, Arms and later in the year Mario, than it can go up to 15M or even more. It can go either way. Let's wait and see.
