Not the same numbers in each thread. And apparently there is a big mistake about these numbers, they mixed everything up.

The January numbers I've found were 10M Switch shipped in 2017. The 8M numbers given here and in the other thread was surely about consoles sold. So they now expect to sell 10M instead of 8M, to ship XM instead of 10M, and to produce 16M instead of YM. X and Y should both be around 12-13. Sounds a lot more logical than "Oh, the launch was good, let's double the numbers!".

Oh, I see.. reread the original source more carefully. Both from the same source, but this one is accurate, thanks :p

I'm not sure what is accurate. WSJ apparently really believes in the 8M to 16M production change, which sounds absurd. And I've found a January Gameblog article announcing 10M shipped, so I just think that WSJ made a mistake and announced an initial prevision of "8M produced" instead of "8M sold".
