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.

Sigh...

Don't know how else to say this.

I have NEVER been in a debate about how many consoles nintendo will ship.

I am using VGC sold numbers for nintendo. Whose numbers for nintendo and every other platform is the closest approximation of global sales we have that constantly gets adjusted whenever more sold to consumers numbers are given. 

But indulge me..... on nintendos IR site they have sales numbers for the NS at 22M as at end of september. Are you saying those are also tracking shipped numbers? Cause I believe they are not. And if that is the case then no, shipped numbers is not the only official numbers we have.
