I'm all for Nintendo's success, but it seems like that number may be out of reach. We simply don't have enough information to know how the Switch is actually going to sell outside of its launch period, so I think they may have gone from a conservative estimate to an overly optimistic one. I plan to pick up a Switch sometime this year, anecdotally, but 18 million over its first 13 months is quite a lot, even more than PS4, and that exploded out of the gates. I'm not saying it's impossible, and more power to them if they do it, but I am a little skeptical.
