The point you are trying to make doesnt hold much weight.

Yes, they overestimated Wii U shipments but Switch is not Wii U and they have underestimated its launch and first year shipments so its comparing apples to oranges.

my point just because a company forecast something doesn't mean it will come true, especially this early.
