Why in the world is WSJ still talking about 18 million for this fiscal year? Even 18 million for FY3/2017 and FY3/2018 combined would be a stretch, because that would be 15.26 million during this fiscal year. Nintendo cannot possibly produce that many units. If they could, they would not have only shipped 1.96 million during Q1. They would've shipped over 3 million, like with the Wii.

Probably because that's their target in production, which probably won't be met however due to part scarcity.

Q1 was really bad from a shipment standpoint, but I'm optimistic Q2 will be quite a bit higher than Q1. 3M or even a bit more sounds like in the realm of possible considering the shipments since Splatoon 2 release in Japan and recent news of more shipments to the west
