They shouldn't. But for me 20M is still a high call.

The problem isn't they were severely wrong in their prediction... they have missed them all for like 2-3 years even if after every failure they made smaller and smaller ones.

And most of people on the site were sure they would miss, but guys like you defended they know better and were being conservative, that Nintendo would easily surpass their predictions.

Most guys dont relise that NX will probably will lauuch with handheld and home consoles not just with home console, and that 3DS and Wii U combine had around 18m of sales in their first year.

Like I already said, if 3DS and Wii U manage to make 18m totally new platform of home and handheld could make similar numbers.

3DS and WiiU didn't release at the same time and could them sell to a good overlapping community. I agree they could make 18 or even 20M, nothing is impossible, but 20M I think is unlikely, I would believe more on a 15M. An that is because you only need one of those to play the same game on the fusion Idea. And if they release 200hh and 300 console their chance of hitting 20M first year is very dim.

But no problem, you can set your expectations very high and them we see how close they come.
