(i should've just multi-quoted you lol.) Not sure if “boldâ€Â is the right word: Nintendo had been making a big statement about how they would meet Switch 2 demand, and seeing that that JP had 2.2mil pre-order requests, it then must follow Nintendo would likely be seeing nothing short of 5mil in June alone (2.8mil from EU+NA is a conservative estimate according to JP demand). And knowing that demand would not slow down, expecting 3-5mil for the Fall quarter & 10mil for the Christmas quarter fall very in-line with reality.

15m shipments in 10 months will be basically the fastest of all time if achieved afaik. With the numbers you've put they'd be doing about 22-24m in 10 months, shipping over 50% faster than the previous fastest selling console of all time. 18-20m in 7 months was never on the cards, and a 10m holiday quarter would again be a new record, something a system in it's first year, not it's peak, is never going to do and not in-line with reality.

That would’ve been very similar to NSW1, only with a slightly strong holiday & a much stronger launch. You can say the numbers are big and therefore unrealistic; but 2.2mil in JP is also pretty large as well.
