Dear Reader:

Nintendo is currently holding its shareholder meeting in Kyoto.

President Kimishima just said the plan is to still ship 20 million Switch units and 100 million games by the end of this fiscal year (end of March 2019).
He said all employees at Nintendo are focused to get there.
Nintendo had an amazing first year for the Switch, having sold upwards of 17 million units. At the close of their last fiscal year, the company announced projections of 20 million Switch units shipped for the next fiscal year. We're now 3+ months into that fiscal year, and former Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima is saying Nintendo is sticking to that number. That goes along with 100 million games shipped as well. Hopefully this means the Switch is continuing to kick butt around the world.
