I think 12m is probably a safe guess indeed, but it's probably what Nintendo expects since they changed their numbers to 14m first year (as in, first 12 months), so that probably means they expect something like 12.5m this year + 1.5m in January/February. I think it won't go further than this due to stock as I bet it will still have stock issues this holiday.

Actually Nintendo's forecast is 14m for the fiscal year, not for the Switch's first 12 months. Since the fiscal year starts in April, it doesn't include the console's launch month, which means they expect 16m lifetime by next April.

Wow, really? I didn't notice that. Looking forward to see what numbers Switch pulls this holiday! At this rate it will win every NPD. lol
