18M is what they will aim and expect in my opinion, but I won't be surprised if it's even less than that this year in the end.

Switch is around 32m shipped and 3ds was around 29m shipped in the same time frame, and next year 3ds sales were not better that year even with yokai watch, Pokémon, luigi's mansion, monster hunter games that year.

People have to remember that when you launch a console in March, its 3rd calendar year has already around 6 or 7 months more than other consoles launched in the holiday season, so they already have much time in existence by the time. Switch is not going to go way up after so much time and so many games already. A flat year is more probable than a 20M+ year.

So, yes I voted 18M shipped. A very good number if it becames true. It will allow Switch still being one of the fastest consoles ever.

You have to consider that 3DS have the peak in first/second year, with a 50$/€ price cut and a revision (XL version)... Switch haven't got any price cut or revision by now and is still far ahead of 3DS launch aligned. You have to consider also the fact that most of games on Switch are already bestseller of the series which are belong to: SMO best selling Mario 3D game of all time, Zelda BotW best seling Zelda game of all time, Mario Tennis Aces best selling Mario Tennis game of all time and is on the way to become the best selling Tennis game of all time and so on
