Switch continues doing really well.

Through twelve fiscal quarters:

Switch - 52.48m
PS4 - 47.4m

The PS4 shipped 20.1m in the following four fiscal quarters, so Switch must do 15m+ to stay ahead through four years. Doable, despite the upcoming ~2m in January to March 2020.

I've adjusted up our Switch sales to be more in line with the shipment figures. Before there was a difference of over 2.5 million. It is now around 2 million.

That seems completely unnecessary. Nintendo's forecast for the rest of the fiscal year (19.5m for the year, so 1.76m to go) makes it clear that there's quite a bit of excess stock after the holiday quarter, so the previous 2.5m gap you had was going to correct itself naturally to a more sensible gap between LTD shipments and sell-through. January to March 2020 is poised to have higher sell-through than shipments.

Please, tell me you're joking. We both know nintendo doesn't expect such low numbers.
