Of curse not. By march next year which will be its "first two years" it would have sold around 32M. And unless something greatly changes it will average around 800k sales a month up until around november and december.

So lets not get ahead of ourselves here. 

Ship numbers are only official numbers we have, and at end of March 2019. Switch will have around 36-37m shipped units, and around half of number that you mentioned (75-80m).

Keep in mind that all Nintendo numbers are ship (sold to retailers), so predictions for years should be for ship units, espacily when we talking about LT predictions because at end for any console ship units is equal sales units at end.

oh pls are you kidding me? Why should I be talkin shipped numbers when we are clearly talking sold to consumers. 

I am and have been talking about sold numbers not shipped. And in the same site you linked they have the switch there at 22M or so. I am using VGC numbers like we all have used it for every other platform. And I strongly doubt all the people that have been replying me and putting up FY numbers were talking about shipped numbers either. Or not those are all some really small shipment numbers. 

Look I can't be having to similar but totally different conversations at the same time. I am talking about sold to consumers. You know, the stuff NPD and famitsu tracks. Not shipped numbers simply cause those will always be higher. And its simple... nintendo said they wanna ship 20M for the FY. That will take total shipments to 37M by march 2019. Unless there are adjustments.
