Nintendo should be ambitious if they want to be back to number one with the Switch. Nothing wrong about that. If things don't go smoothly, they have time to adjust their expectations :P

Yeah, but they still plan to sell the same number of 3DS too. I don't know how they plan to still sell the same number of 3DS, and push people to buy just as much Switches on top of that. |
Because that is not true, simple as that, once Switch is out the whole focus of Nintendo marketing will go for Switch and I highly doubt they expect to sell 10m 3ds in 2017

Or yours are too low
The pre-orders are strong because people want Zelda at launch, not because they want a Switch at launch (that's why the conversion rate is so high). Once Zelda has been released, sales won't be close to Wii levels anymore.

Well later there will be MK8 Deluxe, ARMS, Splatoon 2, Mario Odyssey....Zelda is reason to buy Switch at launch but later will be more good and strong games so people who dont want only Zelda.

They go a lot for portable systems. Most people I know own a 3DS. However, while a lot of them own one for Pokémon, the other dominant reason people own one is Monster Hunter. |
Monster Hunter may be popular among gamers, but it's not that popular in general. Some other 3DS games are way more popular, even Tomodachi Life sold 5 times as much as MH4U.

Well they dominating software sales there every year! They sold 4.3m software units in 2016 in France, 3.3m on 3ds, and 1.1m on the killed wii u.
3DS has sold 4.7m as of 2016, expected to sell another 700k units in 2017, same as last year and Pokemon S/M another 450k added to the 806k units sold at retail in 2016, approaching the top selling 3ds game in France, MK7. The unloved wii u is close to 1 million, it was outselling xbox one till 2015 there, mario kart 8 has sold more than 500k.
That's enough proof for how much big France is for Nintendo. |
Do you have the PS4 software sales numbers? I assume you do because you said Nintendo are dominating software sales in France.

Ambitious, but plausible and a necessary energy boost for a downtrodden company. Nintendo most likely wouldn't exclaim overly impossible sales numbers because if they didn't reach their forecasts investors would be quite pissed.

They need to be realistic. There are actually financial ramifications for misjudging the market demand for a product.
Bet with Adamblaziken:
I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Because the audience buying a system in year 1 and the audience buying a system in year 7 are completely different.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
