So... Will Nintendo be able to ship those 20 million Switch units?

Hmm, the fiscal year is young, so much is possible. So far it seems they might fall short. Pokemon and Smash surely will move units, but they come late, Pokemon will affect five months of sale, Smash even only four. So far it seems unlikely, but maybe I'll get surprised.

Last year Switch shipped like ~7.2 million from Oct-Dec with Mario Odyssey in Oct (~9m) & Xenoblade 2  in Dec (~1m) as 1st party titles.

This year has Mario Party in Oct (~1m), Pokemon in Nov (~10m) & Smash Bros in Dec (~10m) as first party titles.

On top of that, this year could have holiday bundles/deals unlike last year. It wouldnt surprise me if they ship 10 million Switches in that quarter alone.

I'm aware how holidays drive sales. But still I think they'll fall short. I think Nintendo needs to ramp up to 200K weekly at the end of Q2.
