The fact that he's even putting these numbers out there shows that it's feasible.

Nothing strange about it, sony consoles don't have huge years like nintendo machines have had before. Wouldn't surprise me to see Switch having bigger years than ps4 while selling less lifetime

10M, $300 price tag and 9 months. Why do you think Switch will stop now? |
Perhaps its me looking into past trends too much. Portables in general and Nintendo home consoles do not typically do very well at high prices. The 3DS, DS, and GBA all received price cuts very early in their lives and it helped them greatly (particularly for the 3DS). I am convinced part of the Wii U's malaise was related to its price as well.
Another issue is that Sony and MS will most likely cut the prices of their systems next year and Sony has a particularly strong lineup which could steal some thunder from the Switch (MonHun in Japan has a huge base building potential for PS4, for example). I see Switch and the stationary systems being able to co-exist and compliment each other; nevertheless, they are still all fighting for the consumer's attention and lower prices for the stationary systems combined with big lineups compared to this year can still negatively impact the Switch and the gamer's focus on it in 2018.
Yes , he certainly said so in japanese.

I do not remember DS but GBA most definitely did not receive a price cut early. It launched at 99 USD and get its first price cut a year and a half later. The GBA launched almost 3 years later at 99 USD. The heck?
Plus, Gamecube was the cheapest piece of hardware at the time and how did that work out for Nintendo? People thought Wii and Switch were overpriced when they launched and how did they do for Nintendo? Maybe you should do more looking into your theory.

I agree!
Nintendo sales accelerates quickly. So such a thing is possible. I can see Nintendo hitting those numbers easily if they have the right software. It might even be too low.
Animal Crossing. Probably Smash Bros. Super Mario Maker for the Switch? Get Fortnite and Overwatch, coupled with all the B tier franchises (Kirby, Yoshi, Fire Emblem, Pikmin 4, Mario Party?) and that’s a given. Gameplay of Metroid Prime 4 and Pokemon (if they aren’t releasing next year) and it’ll for sure help.
