Just like them saying they were planning to ship 2m units in March limited its sales to 2m...right?

You'd imagine post-launch predictions of future success would be easier to nail down then the 2m forecast they made for launch even before their pre-launch events.

But yes I'd imagine a forecast of 12.74m shipped by the end of March 2018 heavily indicates people predicting 15m+ (or even 17.5m) sold to consumers are reaching too high.

Well, i wasn't pointing it out in-defence of those people eho predicted those numbers, rather that they're willing to ship more if the demand is there, as they clearly did in March, so in theory it can do the numbers of those predicted. I do however think they will probably end up at around 12-13m, though, you never know
