(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. PS5's holiday quarter last year of 9.5m shipments is the highest on record.

PS5's 9.5 million holiday quarter isn't the highest on record. Wii, DS, and Switch all did far higher but the rest of your post is spot on.
