We'll get an impression in two weeks I think. If they can ship 6-7M for the Jul-Sep quarter, then they should be able to ship 13-15M for the holiday quarter. The mid-point of that should be enough to achieve a 30M sold figure for the year (80M shipped, 78M sold which would be 30M sold in 2020).
What also needs to be considered is how huge the evergreen software is going to sell this holiday. MK8D hit 4M last year on 10.8M hardware - could it feasibly hit 5M on 13-15M this year? And what about ACNH lol (I'm expecting >6M for it). BOTW hit 1.8M last year - this year it could end up above its 2017 holiday quarter (2M).
