I am not expecting the Switch to keep up with the DS/Wii in sales, that's just unrealistic. But expecting 20 million or even 18/19 for what is looking like an amazing software/hardware year isn't out of the realm of possibilities. Pokemon honestly didn't have that much more of a bigger impact on the 3ds then it did on the ds. DS had more reasons for it to reach 150 million. Not to mention that all Nintendo successors has had lower sales than the original. Animal crossing brings in a new demographic of gamers as well. PS, there is no way the Switch is selling less than the 3ds, so that 75M max definitely needs to be upped 

As I have said I don't see 18M to 19M as unattainable. I even expect it to d around that next year. But some are saying 20M to 25M. Thats wii or DS level numbers and I just don't think its gonna happen. Especially not for the reasons being given.

You have some problem with reading or understanding point that someone is trying to make, you keep replying to people things they didnt wrote.

I am right, I never said that Nintendo is wining US markets, I said that for Nintendo US market is strongest market while Europe is strongest market for Sony, and thats a fact. Nintendo is selling most if its consoles on US market while Sony selling most of its console on Europe market simple as that, MS also selling also most of consoles to US (but Xbox brand is generally much weaker on any other market).

For your information, despite Japan prefers handheld mostly, Nintendo handhelds also sold most in US not in Japan.

 

When people talking about hole year they talking about shipped numbers because those are only official numbers we getting from Nintendo, this year Switch will maybe even hit their target of 20m shipped units, 18-19m is like minimum they will ship. Next year more than 20m is very likely. Even Wii had only year with 26m shipped units, not sold units, no one said that Switch can sell 25m in 2019.

I see what the issue is here. When you say strongest market you mean where it sells the most not where it dominates and wins. 

I read what you said in response to what was being said as talking about "strongest markets"h with regards to winning those markets not just selling very well in those markets compared to other markets. 

 

As for your shipped number thing... if thats really what yu guys are ding then you all are messing it all up. That 20M nintendo gave isnt for this whole year  (jan - dec) of 2018. Its for the 2018-2019 Fiscal year (Apr 2018 - Mar 2019).

Having said that..... I dont believe you on this notion that when people have been talking about switch selling 20M or 25M next year they were referring to shipped numbers as opposed to sales. I think its usally pretty clear when people are talking abut shipped numbers and sales. You cant be talking about shipped numbers and saying 2018 or 2019 If thats what you are doing then be sure to add (FY). So if yu say 2018 FY we all will know what you mean is shipments and covering a period of apr 2018 to mar 2019.

Strongest market = market where they selling most consoles

 

Yeah, 20m for FY not for calendar year. When people say 20m sold they mean on that forecestad Nintendo 20m for FY, and in some manner they they saying that Switch sell more than 20m units next year. Ship means sold to reatilers, while sold means sold to consumers, plenty of people dont pay too much atention on those things and they talking about them like are similar things, for plenty of people ship numbers are same like sold numbers.
