Yeah, and I have puzzled over the fact that they didn't increased the forecast again, especially given the NA situation... 

Switch?

Unless they retaining it at 7.2m on purpose... To exceed it by a lot! ;)

What? They just bumped the forcast to 7.2 million, it was 6 million last quarter.

lol...

Forgive me, I  had the wrong notion that the 7.2m were from FY16Q2 but it was 6m as you menioned befored and didn't notice it, and it Nintendo rose it to 7.2m...

So 5m->6m->7.2m...

WOW 1m increasement every quarter... 

Is Nintendo so incompetent to estimate the demand of their products? Wii u situation have made them so pessimistic and conservative!

So Nintendo exceeded the 6m ( which was previously 5m ) as of March 2017 forescast, in december 2016...

I think they will surpass the 750k which needed to hit the new forecast!

Switch even if perhaps is 3DS successor is expensive as a handheld console only and doesn't have bc... So 3ds sales shouldn't be affected significantly, not even fat ds which had bc didn't cut many sales from GBA...

Also, New 3DS XL is still at full price,  ergo a price drop should be on the way and it could boost the hardware sales to an important extend...

GBA and ds final revision had a lower price than their initial one in the same time frame!
