Disappointing sales = significantly below forecast.  Whatever official forecast they give, it will be several million below it.

Mario/Zelda/Splatoon are still helping them now, but they won't move hardware forever.

So all that matters is whatever Nintendo forecast, not how much they actually sell. If they move 17m units for the year, that's a good number if they forecast 16 or 18m, but if they forcast 20m, that same 17m number then becomes disappointing. That's pretty silly.

Also of course not forever, but they'll still be moving hardware throughout 2018.

Also as time goes on a console becomes less reliant on individual system sellers and having a wide variety of software becomes more important.

We are seeing Switch receive a steady flow of titles from all sorts of developers from a variety of genres and thats what is important for the success of any platform.
