Pretty clear that he´s talking about sales in the current fiscal year. In such fiscal year briefings, companies always tell to their investors projections for the next fiscal year, in this case the one that started just recently.
We still don´t know important information, like what the Switch version is like and it´s launch date. Or if any DQ11 will launch outside Japan in the current fiscal year.
(JAPAN) Right now, I think that the 3DS and PS4s best case scenario is, that combined they´ll come close to DQ9 sales, which in my book isn´t a great result for in essence two games. Actually a decline in sales (DQ11 3DS+PS4 compared to DQ9 on DS) is quite likely.
Sales potential of Switch version is really cut short due to complete exclusion of new information and media blackout so far and late launch, with a likely lazy low-key marketing campaign in comparison.
