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?

It's shipment reported and not sell through so naturally there's going to be a lot more units both being shipped and on shelves. So assuming the VGChartz ends up being true and it sold through 2.6M there's maybe another 400K on the shelves across the world and early October shipments of bundles (looking at you Fortnite bundle especially) which certainly shipped before the Quarter ended should  add a substantial. 4M might be a bit too positive but I definately think 3.5+ is reasonable
