To keep things in perspective, from Nintendo's own investor releases they say they plan to "ship" 2 million consoles by the end of March. So their rosiest outlook is having just 2 million consoles made in the 1st month of release and they are launching damn near worldwide. To compare in the first month the PS4 not shipped, sold 4 million. And it was only on sale in the EU for 2 weeks of that 1st month and wasn't on sale in Japan and many other regions. So if they only plan to have 2 million by the end of the month they are really only looking at like a million consoles ready for launch. They either expect this to not sell that well or they are way behind production.

PS4 launched in November Switch launches in March. November is a bigger month overall when it comes to sales while March is pretty decent.

Only having 2 million units shipped in the first month when doing such a large worldwide release is pretty bad regardless of the month. Like I said it either mean really low internal expectations on sales or they are way behind production. If its the latter it begs to question why they are releasing this now when its obvious this system should have been launched this fall with its lacking launch line-up and halfbaked features like online not being ready until the fall.
