I'm talking shipments too, i said 11M shipped in the last quarter of the year, and 4M more needed to reach thar 20M goal. And I said i don't expect that much shipments in those quarters. And if you give me official number of 7'3M shipped last year, the more i doubt it. Going from 7M to 11M is a lot. I honestly doubt it will happen. Or maybe Nintendo will indeed ship that much, but because they won't sell that much, then in the next quarter they will need to ship less than normal.

Maybe will hit 11m maybe it want, but this year Q3 will be much stronger in any case than last year (I expecting around 10m in any case). Like I wrote, this holiday season Switch has Pokemon Lets Go, Pokemon bundles, Black Friday Switch MK8D bundle for $299, Smash Bros launch and Smash Bros bundles, while in same period of last year Switch only had Xenoblade 2. So yeah, its very expected that Switch will have much stronger November and December compared to last year (and last year in Q3 Switch sold 7.3m). Also we already having informations that Switch is doing very good for now in November and much better than in same period of last year in November.

Talking about Q4 sales, last year Switch shipped 3m, but this time will have much stronger momentum from Pokeom launch in November and Smash Bros in December that will be caried in January, and we have NSMBU launch in January also, so we could expect 3.5m at least.

Well, I can accept 10M shipped too, and 3M ship next quarter, so in the end we think very simillar but that is still 13M (or 13'5M in your case) and if it's 13M next 2 quarters, that's still 18M for the year, so there you have why I said 17M sold and around 18M shipped in the FY.
