Whoa calm down lmao.

First of all, a big company like that doesn't say "I want to sell 20+ millions" for no reason. Every number they give is analyzed by the investors they can't just throw random hopes like this if it doesn't mean anything. If there is anything, it is their goal for FY 2018 but before they had to make a solid announcement, which like I said, will most likely be up by now following them having an incredible first holiday season and the Switch looking to become the fastest selling console of all time on it's first year.

The 20+ million numbers were following the 10 million announcement which was sell through consumer, so I'm pretty sure it was indeed referring to sold and not shipped, or else they would have specified. And now that the numbers are probably up from their announcement before the holidays, we can just wait for their next move.

If I'm not mistaken and it really is 20+ (and btw, they said it in a way referring to atleast 20 million, so it might be even more but they wanted to share a more realistic prediction since it was so far off the period he was talking about) they could clearly be producing 25 million consoles.

Anyway, I don't understand why you are so pressed, we have so little information I'm just saying "if the rumour is true". But seeing how the console is selling, it will most likely be true.

Have I said they go and make light of their announcements? Nope, just said they wanting to sell is different than what they will formally put on their projections.

And sure, I have no issue with their 20M+ intention is sell through and not shipment.

I was talking about another rumor on VGC that had Nintendo either PRODUCING 30M to SHIP 25M or PRODUCE 25M to SHIP 20M... those are the ridiculous numbers because it would have to much on invetory. And when you said you agreed with the rumor I thought you knew which one it was.

I don't think it was a "rumour on vgchartz". Iirc the original article was sourced from the Wall street journal. There was no ethnicity pointed to in these claims though, therefore regardless of the source it still remains a rumour.
