So... Will Nintendo be able to ship those 20 million Switch units?

What doesn't make sense? Did DS sold in 2010, 2011 or 2012 as much as in 2007, 2008 and 2009???, I'm missing something?

You said no Nintendo console has maintained its year 2 and year 3 sales. That's wrong. Here are the DS stats, the fiscal year ending March 2005 only covers 4.5 months, so it would be year 0.

Fiscal year ending March 2005 - 5.27m
2006 - 11.46m
2007 - 23.56m
2008 - 30.31m
2009 - 31.18m
2010 - 27.11m
2011 - 15.53m
2012 - 5.10m
2013 - 2.35m

The DS's fourth and fifth fiscal year were higher than its second and third fiscal year. Likewise, fiscal year 4-6 combined are higher than fiscal year 1-3 combined.

Well, point for you, with DS you were right. But because just 1 of 11 Nintendo consoles had better sales in year 4-5, even having a good year 6 we should now expect Switch to be the same?? What Switch has made to think it will replicate DS success? Why not compare it to Wii or 3DS?? (which in my opinion, its pace is far more similar). What happened to the shipments of those consoles? (don't need to put the numbers, don't worry, i suppose both know the numbers).
