BTW to those who think NS2 is about to blast straight through that 19mil forecast from Nintendo, you may need to keep your expectations in check: Furukawa revealed in the investor meeting that NS2 forecast remains at 19mil since only a little over 15mil of the shipped 17mil have sold, i.e. they overstocked in anticipation of the holiday rush (a strategy they used for NS1, in fact). So shipment data may appear a tad bit deflated in Q4FY26, just as it was for NS1 in Q4FY18 (and as is regularly seen with PS5).
That said, I’d expect 2-3mil shipped for Q4FY26 w/ sales returning to normal 3-4mil levels afterwards.
