Ok. Too much optimistic for me. Like i already explained in other post. I think 40% growth sales to cosnumers in Jan-March 2019 is not going to be translated to the rest of the year. I will be surprised if Switch surpass 20M shipped or sold this year to be honest. I need to see what Nintendo say for FY18 numbers and expectations for FY 2019. It will be interesting...

You don't think Nintendo has a strong release schedule lined up for the second half of 2019?

It has..., but not much stronger than last year in my opinion and besides, there's a point where better software can do so much for growing hardware sales. There's a point when price cut and deals work way better than software new releases. And here is when it comes one of my controversial opinions. The more Switch sells, the less i think there will be a price cut. And considering my prediction is based in not happening a revision either, i found my prediction for Switch in fact, really optimistic. If there is a revision/price cut, then my prediction will become completely wrong. I just think Nintendo this gen is going to adapt a strategy more based in raw profits than raw sales, so if they can sell less but a more profit, they will do that. In other words, i think Nintendo will prefer to sell 18M Switch at $300 than to sell 20M at $250.
