Not a lot of profit margin t toy with should they need a price cut any time soon then, not unexpected.

Also, 30 million by the end of 2018? That's ridiculous. An amazing start would be 10 million this year, that leaves a 100% increase yoy for 2018, something that's more or less never happened with any console in history.

DS went from ~11m in 2005 to ~21m in 2006.

"More or less" is key here. There is zero grounds for expecting a 100% increase for the Switch in 2018 at this point in time.

I always treat the DS and PS2 as anomalies, they're not exactly realistic targets for console sales.
