Yeah, I don't think it'll be great. The Labo box is almost as big as PS4 box that will need more space in retail stores by november.

Yeah the size of the Labo boxes is an interesting point.



If retailers overstocked on it, they're not going to want them taking up that much space in place of other products. Perhaps we'll see a price cut soon?

Nintendo readjusted 2017 switch shipments forecast from 10, to 14, then to 15. Seems Nintendo is being conservative in their forecasts.
But is very hard to see these 20 million...
This pokemon game might be a huge system seller, and Nintendo might be planning other huge things or deals.

Switch was also a new never tried before type of system coming off a colossal failure (WiiU), so Nintendo would probably want to be conservative at that point. Especially after what happened in 2014 where they slashed their sales forecast by ~75%. It's better to underestimate sales than over estimate them.

We're just one month into the fiscal year so I don't know about hitting 20m one way or another. But it doesn't look like Switch will commonly do fantastic numbers on months where it doesn't have quality software.
This year looks to be the first big test for Switch's software output.

% away from actual number so if anyone had predicted 326k for ps4 theybwould have gotten 0%
