First full year.

This rumor is the second part of this:

"Orders for the NX will be finalized by March 2016, and the sources indicate that Nintendo intends to ship 20 million units during the first year. Now that’s confidence."

Nintendo's new game console is scheduled to enter mass production at the end of the first quarter 2016 and despite the fact that the Japan-based company is targeting to ship 20 million units in 2016, the device's upstream component suppliers expect shipments to only reach around 10-12 million units.

 

They dont say FY2016. but 2016 its self. hence my "Not Gonna Happen" post.

 

i doubt Nintendo are aiming for 20 million units, even if its in the first 12 months of the console. thats just way over confident. 

Well 3DS managed around 15m in first calendar launch year and Wii U managed around 3m in 2012. So that's around 18m combine.
