<p>Kimishima laid out his expectations during an interview with Japanese paper <a href="http://www.kyoto-np.co.jp/top/article/20171227000164">the Kyoto Shimbun</a> (<a href="https://wccftech.com/nintendo-plans-sell-20-million-switch/">translated by Wccftech</a>), and explained Nintendo will attempt to maintain the Switch’s momentum by releasing new software that “enables new ways of playing.” </p>
<p>The hybrid system has already <a href="https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/311497/Nintendo_Switch_worldwide_sales_top_10M_units.php">sold over 10 million units</a> since launching on March 3, and Nintendo expects to see that figure top 14 million before the end of this fiscal year on March 31, 2018. </p>
<p>All of the above suggests Nintendo is confident of seeing the Switch break the 30 million sales mark in its first two years on shelves. </p>
<p>Time will tell whether that prediction proves to be accurate, but as it stands the nimble console is proving to be a hot commodity.</p>
