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.

Nintendo projected 5 million for 3DS last FY, they had to adjust it up twice and it ended up doing over 7 million. Its not unheard of to increase or exceed sales forcasts.
