Well, is more about the general context, using the small sampling of japan and generalizing. I expected a 33% increase from lastl year, since it sold 15 million in 17 and is projected to sell 20 million this year.
After a poor Q1, we had to see near to a 4 million Q2, 10 million Q3 and 4 million Q4 to keep up with the projections.
So, we could expect a steady increase through Q1 to Q2 and Q2 to Q3. But Japan, after a steady season of 50+ weeks and with no major titles, started to sell in the 40s.
So, it have been dropping the ball compared to itself from 2 month ago, when it was expected to increase instead.

Ok not strictly talking about Japan I see.
I think going forward 3.5-4M for Q2...
Not really worried yet, in fact I'm still confident in reaching the 20M goal for the fiscal year.

Where is the confidence coming from for 3.5 - 4M in Q2? The average from July through September here on VGchartz for the Switch is right around 200k/week. That's 2.6M over 13 weeks for a quarter, obviously a rough estimate but pretty far from 3.5 - 4M. Is there some reason you think shipments will be that much higher than sales or do you think VGchartz is dramatically off from its Switch hardware estimates?
