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.

First half comparatively might be up but they haven't announced anything remotely as explosive as Mario Odyssey, Splatoon, Zelda and MK to actually have that momentum building into the holidays. This all depends on Labo which I'm not sure will be as impactful as Nintendo want it to be.

To be fair, we are still in January, and Nintendo loves to reveal big games at E3. They will probably have Animal Crossing for holidays as well as Fire Emblem (already announced). Yoshi is also there as a filler. I believe they just need the rumored Smash port to go along with Animal Crossing to hit their target.
