I will be on TV to discuss Nintendo earnings in 1 hour (11:30am Japan time, 10:30pm ET) live @CNBCi (program: @StreetSignsCNBC).

Nintendo still expects 13.5M in sales for the Switch this fiscal - that late in its lifecycle. (Wii U sold 13.56M in its entire lifecycle.) The Switch is at 141M now, will sell even next year and is poised to pass the PS2 as the best selling console of all time (155M units).
