With 4 impactful titles releasing this yr, I think Nintendo could sell as many Switch units as they can produce.

The front loaded strategy is smart - Zelda, MK8D, Spla2n, MariOddysee - each of these have "unique" fans aka system sellers. Then you have broader fans that view the entire lineup, and want in ASAP. Add all that up, and the number looks to be strong - Switch can easily surpass Wii U ltd in one yr (14+ mil). When you have the sw + DESIRABLE hw, look out....

If sales and high demand maintain throughout this yr, I think Nintendo will hold Pokemon Stars off until around the superbowl (Feb. '18). Fiscal yr 1 Switch will then close with a bang and Nintendo could meet their sales projections .That successfully creates momentum for Switch after yr 1. Then, its all about whats to come in 2018 and beyond, including HW refreshes. Good times ahead for Ninty.
