13.5m for hardware is higher than I expected, but certainly not impossible. It was just a year ago that 15m was deemed crazy high and unattainable; the actual result was 15.70m.
This time around we know even less about Nintendo's lineup, but this isn't worrisome when we've gone time and time again through the same thing of Nintendo having a short turnaround from game announcement to release.
