you forget fire emblem warriors in september

NIntendo currently sells everything they shipped and they see huge demand for Switch regardles, note that we are outside holiday season,

I can see it. It's really high, but the Switch is already the fastest selling Nintendo console in the 2 biggest gaming markets, it'll get 3 of Nintendo's biggest sellers this year (Mario Kart, Splatoon, 3D Mario), and there are probably still some unnanounced games. Add holiday sales at $250 (I doubt they will cut its price so quickly, unless it's another 3DS case), possibly with bundles? I could see it.

Idont think thats so simple and Nintendo thinking just "we having better PS4 launch", they probably also seeing huge demand for Switch on market and that demand will be bigger with MK8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, Fire Emblem Warriors, Mario Odyssey, possible new Pokemon...

OP could make thread title just:

WSJ: Nintendo Raises Switch Forecast To 16 Mill From 8 Mill For Next Fiscal Year


Because every info or news is unconfirmed until Nintendo or Sony or MS dont confirmed it, but you rarely see in "unconfirmed" in title.

This is not exactly correct. At the very least the initial shipment to Australia, Mexico and Italy still haven't been sold out. UK and France also have stock.

If legit, Nintendo really need to be told the old adage of don't count your chickens before they're hatched.

Basing production projections off of launch numbers isn't the wisest of moves.

Same thing, they see great sales/demand so they think that it will be like this all year and supposedly adjust their forecast accordingly.

And outside of the usual Christmas period, I don't think we'll have another month like March (we already had a lot of discussions about it here so I won't talk about the reasons again).  

And I seem to be the only one, but I'm really not sure we'll see a Pokemon game soon. They talked about 2018 and other "TBA" games during the Switch reveal, but they would intentionally leave Pokemon out of the reveal? And they would launch it the same Christmas as Mario? What about next Christmas? They're trying to put some time between each of their game because they have a limited number of big games releasing on the console (because of the lack of third party games so far), but they would release their 2 biggest games in the same period, it would seem weird. 

So first they make way too few and counteract by making way too many??
Is their marketing and production department comprised of a bunch of monkeys holding parley in some hot springs?

I do wonder how Switch's legs will be....
