I wouldn't say that's now likely, the PS5 should still have it in the bag cause 16-17m in just 7 months is a huge ask. Even 14m by the end of this year would be a fantastic start for the Switch 2.

Its a lot less crazy when you look at it quarterly. All signs point to Switch 2 selling ~6m through its launch month, which would more or less put it on par with the PS5 for the first half of the year. Keep in mind given the state of pre-orders that there will likely continue to be a high level of latent demand through the rest of summer, which would put it at roughly 10m going into the fall. From there, just matching the Switch 1's first holiday would get it to 17m.

I don't see it selling that much in its launch month since 3-4m would already be a fantastic launch for it though with the Switch never getting a price cut and other consoles getting price increases I suppose that could make the Switch 2's sales curve be fairly frontloaded cause if it might increase in price in the coming years the people who are interested may as well get one as soon as possible. I'm sure some people were intending to wait for a Switch price cut that never came.
