Quickrick and a few others. The vocal minority. They scream about it often and loud enough for the sales team to take notice of it even though there is no real evidence. They are simply Switch naysayers and i have no idea why the sales team even acknowledges their non-evidence. 

I wasn't gonna post in this thread, but wow how much times are you mention my name, lol. You think vgchartz would care about what i said if there was no evidence? of course all these numbers are speculation with a bit of evidence involved, so it doesn't really matter. Nintendo themselves said 13 million as of now, which was feb 1. I think if it was 14.6 million like vgchartz is suggesting, nintendo would have giving a 14 million estimate, why? well for one thing if nintendo sold through all its stock, basically they would be 100% sure they are over 14 million, but of course they used 13 million number because they didn't want to impress investors.

The strategy meeting where Kimishima mentioned the 13 million figure was for sales up to the end of the 3rd quarter of 2017, i.e., sales up to December 31st. The tracking period ended in December 31st. Nintendo never said "as of now". All the sales from January to March will be given at the next fiscal report.
