How will they sell 10 million this fiscal year? By shipping 10 million.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Just to play devil's advocate though, in the period of FY2014 (April 1 2013-March 31 2014), Super Mario 3D World, Zelda WWHD, Pikmin 3, Lego City Undercover was not enough to convince enough consumers to purchase the Wii U at $299 (which is the price of the Switch now) to meet Nintendo's then goal of shipping 9 million units (2.72 million were actually shipped). This is one reason why I am looking at the price, more so than the line up (although with that being said, the Wii U also had confusing marketing and absolutly terrible press with regards to the system during this period; something which the Switch has not experiencedand hopefully will not experience in the future). |
Wii U also failed to sell through all its first shipment for along period. Something Switch hasn't experienced.
It's funny that you partially destroyed your own argument in the same post. Most users would play dumb omitting this same part in bold just to grasp at straws
We reap what we sow
Nintendo Switch's scariest enemy is stock scarcity.

Stock scarcity brings positivity and keeps the system fresh in the news cycle. There's been "Switch stock shortages" articles almost every day since launch. Of course, Nintendo made it so that if you wanted one you could get one.

Whoever said that had well over his limit of jack daniels. |
I'm sure people said the same thing about the 3DS back then. To be honest, we don't know how sales will pan out further by next year.
Stock not being an issue would be the most important thing
But, with MK8 Deluxe tomorrow (or today), Splatoon and Odyssey, I think it can hit 10M without issues

This is very true. Anytime a company can turn something into a headline is a good thing, but if the scarcity is completely limiting the opportunity to surpass projections, then it's no longer helpful. However, Nintendo seems to be able to ramp up production somewhat considering they sold more than their first-month projections. Still, if scarcity runs into the Holiday season it could really cripple their ability to sell more systems.

Yes, amazon Switch stock for MK8D was a big one, guess what... it got sold out status on just 1 hour today, there are no more NS to sell from amazon, this shows demand is higher than supply for the hot NS.
34 years playing games.
A consistent stream of compelling software, and enough supply to meet demand.
