11.57M in Q3? Very nice. 
Software sales are ridiculous. Mario Kart 8 will actually beat Mario Kart Wii, Animal Crossing at 31M in under a year, Breath of the Wild doesn’t seem to stop ever, Sword and Shield will become the biggest Pokemon games since Gen 1 and four more games knocking on the door of the 10+ Million Club.
Also, that 74 number will be very conservative, they just know from reports that 74M definitely sold for a fact, while they have inconclusive information about the rest. They don’t have almost 6M Switches on shelves right now, because we know there’s global stock issues. It will also be proven when next quarter’s shipment number doesn’t tank (which it would if they overshipped this much).
