Outstanding quarter with the Switch 2 having an incredible 2nd quarter with a significant forecast adjustment upwards not just with its shipments but also with stuff like the operating profit. Time will tell how long it'll keep selling this extremely well but safe to say at this point that even if the sales curve is notably more frontloaded than the Switch 1 it'll still be a huge success. Also the Switch 2 has shipped more in its first couple quarters than any previous Nintendo console has in their first three so all the sub 100m predictions are already aging really poorly.
Speaking of the Switch 1 its shipments dropped again this quarter as expected but more importantly its forecast was reduced from 4.5m to 4m which was unexpected and considering it's down 60% compared to the last fiscal year so far and this quarter was down by 65% 4.5m does suddenly look difficult to reach despite that number seeming modest when it was initially forecast. Cause of this the chances of it reaching 160m are basically over at this point since it pretty much needed to exceed the original forecast at least slightly to still have a shot though I'll wait till February or May before 100% calling it.

I have no idea how you can look at these numbers and come to this conclusion. It's objectively really bad for the odds of it taking that spot.
