In my case, i was saying shipments because that's what we were discussing at that moment.

2M sold to consumers worldwide is still a lot. Switch is not going to sell 200K each week of January, only this week probably, then it will go back to usual baseline of 50k in time. Sales in the west drop a lot in January too, so don't expect the pace of Nov and Dec in January either.

It would be a lot based on historical numbers. But 400k Global a Week is manageable with the lineup and Smash still selling strong. 100k US 100k Europe 100k Japan 100k ROTW on average isn't ridiculous based on how much Smash is selling, but we will see!

If you are expecting 100K for Switch in US, Europe and JP each, then ROTW it won't be 100k too. ROTW (for every console) is "usually" around 10-15% of the total. So if US+EU+JP sell 300k, ROTW should be around.....50k per week.

It's pefectly doable, but that will put it close to 1'4M, not 2M. And if it is indeed 400k per week, around 1'6M.

Last year for comparison (using VGC numbers) Switch did 1'2M worldwide in January. So yes, you will be close.
