If they are at 19 mil they would only need 5 more weeks of 200k sales...quite doable especially with the hype the new Smash game is gathering. Sony will make another strong push soon, but again with Smash on the horizon,  its quite posible the Switch remains on that 200k run.

Their goal is 20m for the year though, not 20m LTD. VGC has Switch at 5.9m for the year so far.

In that case .....I can't see it happening 10 mil yeah, Smash and Pokemon would have to be massive system sellers for it to approach that 20 mil mark for year sales.

Im pretty sure its for the FY and not the calendar year. I might be wrong tho. I dont think it will do 20 million calendar but might do it for the FY.

FY is possible I was thinking Calendar for a 10 to 12 mil mark. They will still need a big push from Smash and Pokemon which is likely as the hype for Smash keeps rising.

Only 10-12 millions on 2018 ? Its a more than 6 millions as of now and will sell atleast 6-7 millions just in November + December.

It ended last calendar year with 13.2 million, and this year is tracking a good 1.2 million units ahead of last year.

Yeah it is definitely Possible but I saw you thought 20mil LTD not FY that's why you said easy so that makes perfect sense to me now.

Nice, didn't expect Switch to stay on top for a second week. Octopath seems to have struck a chord.

So how long are we betting that the Switch holds on to the lead? Until late August? Either way, this makes me optimistic for the holidays
