Also you say it did 13.7m from Jan-April, thats 3.4m each month.
Now if we assume that remians steady from May-Oct, thats 34m.
Now lets round that up to 40m to include digital sales, (just under 20%)
This site has Nov+Dec making up ~52% of last years sales.
Lets assume its a little higher this year since it has bigger games in Nov/Dec (~55%)
That would put sales around ~90m for the year which would be right in line for a 100m FY shipment.

Alright then. My personal opinion is that software was so heavily loaded in Nov+Dec last year because that's finally when Nintendo fixed their stock issues, but if you think that will be a regular thing then I will concede your scenario as plausible for this calendar year. Now that I know your mindset and you know mine we'll just have to see how it all ends up in the end and see if Nintendo hits their target this fiscal year.

But it wasn't heavily loaded, its not uncommon for the holidays to make up ~50% of Nintendo's yearly hardware/software sales.
