Not only that, but if Switch just sells 600/650k in October, it will already be at 23.5M, which is only 6.5M away from 30M. Now that I think about it, I actually wouldn't be too surprised if they ended up shipping that as early as mid December. I mean ... aren't they still shooting for 20M? And what it's at now is about 5M? We could see anywhere from 8-10M shipped this holiday. |
Shipped should almost certainly pass it, they'd only need to ship 7.14m in the holiday quarter to pass 30m, which if they shipped that they'd only be on track for about a 15.5m FY, well below their forecast. If they want any hope of shipping 20m they need a 10.5m+ Q3.
Pretty sure thread is about sell-through though. Which means they're going to have to sell-through about 8m in November+December. Compared to last year where they sold about 6m. Not an easy feat.
