2.5 million is a fair prediction. As of right now Nintendo doesn't seem to be budging too much on producing more consoles than they envision on selling, so a soft estimate of ~8 million by the end of the year (WW) is good to go off of, give or take some over-production. However, we will see if Nintendo decides to expand production with NPD and Media Create in the coming months. If supply constraints continue and Nintendo starts producing more then there's a possibility for 3+ million, obviously.
My prediction: 2.8 million.
