You are correct! Tbone predicted 40 million for Japan (slightly lower tracked by Famitsu). 2025 is shaping up to beat his prediction and make up some ground, since it's 0.75 million behind through 2024.

Year	Tbone's predictions	YTD	Actuals	YTD	Difference
2017-2020		17.34mil	17.34mil	17.34mil	n/a
2021	6.20mil	23.54mil	5.58mil	22.92mil	-0.62mil
2022	5.20mil	28.74mil	4.81mil	27.72mil	-1.02mil
2023	3.70mil	32.44mil	4.06mil	31.79mil	-0.65mil
2024	3.20mil	35.64mil	~3.10mil	34.89mil	-0.75mil
2025	1.20mil	36.84
2026+	500k+	37.34

I am a little bit confused here. Is this 40M prediction for shipped ? Why the total numbers is getting up to 37.34 and not 40M ? And are those 2.7M expected after 2026 ? Can someone explain ?

Tbone originally said, "My prediction for years to come (sell thru is famitsu) but the added number is for NSW sell Thru from untracked retailers such as Mynintendostore.."

Though his prediction was technically for 40 million shipped, he also acknowledged that there are some retailers not tracked by Famitsu, so sell-through would be higher than tracked. He predicted at least 38 million sell-through tracked by Famitsu.
