I forgot to mention the projections are all fiscal year, so 6 million 3ds's by march 2018, 10 million switch's by march 2018, and 18 million PS4's by then.
Personally I don't see the Switch surpassing the 10 million mark, at least not that much. I see it selling a little worse or better than 10 million(from April1st to March 30th 2018). I think it will sell 7.26 or so million units by December, but after that the Switch will just be playing ketchup, where all the sales mainly go from people who couldn't buy a switch with mario by the holidays. I say this even when taking into consideration that a Yoshi or a Kirby might launch early 2018. The more Switch units sell, the more Nintendo need to give people a reason to get up and buy a console. After Mario there isn't an immediate solution for a console seller, so they're really going to just be selling to the people who don't have a Switch yet. Especially since Switch sold 2 million from April 1st to June 30th, that means that an extra million is likely for a 3 month period, but not much else. The PS4 without supply constraints sold 3.3 million in that timeframe. It is hard to speculate since I don't know much about how much Splatoon 2 will penetrate the US and UK markets in terms of console sales.

Wait, so you think that the Switch will enter 2018 with less momentum than it had in 2017?

How is that less momentum? That's an extra million sales in the same time period.
