Think they'll take a hit First half 2017. They really need to up their game for the latter half of the year to do those numbers again

Doubt it.

Jan-March 2017, 2.74 million

April-June 2017, 1.96 million

Jan-June 2017-4.70 million

 

They need to ship 2.87 million to hit their fiscal goal and considering they have raised it twice already they should meet it.

As for April-June, it had heavy shortages last Spring hence the sub-2 million shipment which should easily be beaten this year.

 

My guess is Switch will ship ~6 million in the first half of 2018.

But the lineup right now does not have something with the same kick as BoTW did in the first-half, though we have more ports and smaller scale software. I am not sure if that will be enough to maintain momentum, particularly when Sony is coming out with a very strong software library (MHW and God of War being two big titles; and RDR2 being another) in order to stick on the mind of gamers.
