If it says "by" then it doesn't include 2022 full stop.

If you say you're going to be at work by 9am, it means you'll get there before 9am not at 9:30am. Likewise if you say "by 2022" then that means if it's 2022 then it will already be done, not that it will be done part way through 2022.

It would only include 2022 if it was "by the end of 2022", but it's not, so it doesn't.

It looks like that was an error on the part of the OP though, since the original source uses different wording.

The original title from the article is "Nintendo Lifted to Outperform by Credit Suisse" and the text itself says "Credit Suisse now forecasts Nintendo to sell 130 million Switch consoles through to 2022, up from 70 million, as it says the device sells like a handheld console rather than a traditional console."

So the "by 2022" was added by the OP, so the prediction was most likely for March 2017 to end of 2022.

In my defense, I probably copied the thread title from somewhere else but it has been so long I do not remember. 

Also, funny how this so close to being true! Everyone thought this was crazy back in the day. The sky is the limit! PS2 and DS are going down!
