Nintendo said they would struggle to sell over 10 million units this fiscal year, likely because they are planning to announce the console successor this fiscal year. Especially considering the unit sales are as high as they are still. Nintendo realize an announcement of Switch successor will crater Switch sales.
This is what makes the speculation different this time... Nintendo's confirmed comments allude to new release. Another example is Ubisoft saying Nintendo told them to hold the Rayman sequel to the next console. Does anybody thing Nintendo would ask Ubisoft to sit in a game for over 2 years?
Lifetime Sales Prediction - 6/29/2013
Wii U - 38 million
XBOX One - 88 million
Playstation 4 - 145 million
