Their forecast was for 19 million by March 31st, you expected them to almost beat that by the end of December?

I expected them to be on track based on the current data.

17.37 million means that Switch 2's first holiday season performed worse than Switch 1's first holiday season and that it may be slightly over tracked - Which suggests that momentum is slowing down for Switch 2 - Not an encouraging sign.

Nintendo's forecast was 15m initially and then 19m after adjustment. This looks to be in line with the adjusted forecast and way, way ahead of their original forecast. That's hardly negative or worrying.
