Its not point about what they need but whats good decision, we dont know reason why maybe they want to produce more units than they can ship, maybe they curently have very good deal for some parts, or point that prevent possible future droughts because possible future Switch components shortages on market are logical ones.

Also, Switch sales can explode without shortages problems in 2018. so it's of course better to have some consoles in stock than again face shortages. Again, 5m is nothing for console that's so much popular and that have great sales, those 5m can be sell in one quarter, you clearly overreacting about those possible 5m.

Switch will end up around 17m after first 13 months on market, so they can easily top 17m in second year on market.

There is no logical approach that make overproduding 5M for shipment plus the 3M or more in channel. That is to much incurred cost. It would be a really high discount to justiify the added cost of making and storing that much consoles?

Nope you are talking 2019, if it produces 30M in 2018 and keep 5M not sold just to sell on a 2019 explosion (how big do you think it will explode after selling 25M? 40M? Because 5M would be 3 months plus the 2 months on channels... it makes zero sense).

I'm overeacting about how silly is to plan to add costs for no benefits just to make some exagerated expectation on a forum go even higher.

Of Course there is logic if you had already stock issues, you can potentially again have stock issue (again because potential shortages of Switch parts), and if you actually still don't know how much actually Switch could sell without any stock issues.

No I talking about FY 2018. that starts on 1. April 2018. same year that this article is referred to. But maybe they can sell 25m or even hole 30m, we dont know that.

But you dont know if they will add costs or there is not benefits, again we dont know reason why maybe they want to produce more units than they can ship, maybe they curently have very good deal for some Switch parts, or point that prevent possible future droughts because possible future Switch components shortages on market, those are all logical resones.
