>Was their goal to sell 20 million Switch Units/Hardware by the end of the 2018 fiscal year?

It looks like they don't need Pokemon to break 20 million units by the end of the FISCAL YEAR OF 2018. With Smash coming out I think they'll push them over the top. They can tell GF to wait on the release and polish up any details that need to iron out.

We could see Pokemon come out in the fiscal year of 2019. Which is fine by me as long as we get Pokemon Ga-ole style for Pokemon with proportional scaling, updated textures, and backgrounds.

The thing with Smash is that it's a huge system seller. There's a decent amount of people who buy Nintendo consoles for pretty much nothing but Smash, or wait until Smash to buy one.

the 20 million is for between april 2018 and march 2019. not for all of 2019 and not for the rest of 2018. if you think they cant do that without pokemon switch, then you should know that means it could still be 2018 or 2019. just the first 3 months of 2019 thoough.

just putting that out there since

Another thing is Labo. We may not think much of it, but Nintendo expects it to have a big impact on Switch sales since it reaches a completely new audience.

Mario Kart 7 – 17.04 million
Pokemon X/Y – 16.29 million
Pokemon Sun/Moon – 16.10 million
Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire – 14.06 million
New Super Mario Bros. 2 – 12.61 million
Super Mario 3D Land – 11.96 million
Animal Crossing: New Leaf – 11.69 million
Super Smash Bros. for 3DS – 9.24 million

Same here. At this rate there might be a hardware update by the time Pokemon comes out. The switch will definitely sell 20 million units by the end of the summer(August). Why would Nintendo rush out a Pokemon game if they're about to reach their quota? They should be telling Pokemon to continuing polishing up their game, fixing any bugs, add new materials you cut due to development time. I would wait until the Christmas holiday or mid February to release the Pokemon Switch game.

Can you read? They want to push an ADDITIONAL 20 million units. Not just 'sell 20 million units'

It's a strong franchise in its own right and I wish the variety of customisation items was anywhere near as high in Pokémon even if the art style is weird. I can understand why Kalos customisation was so limited since it was the gen it debuted but Alola clothing options are so shit. Like 10 varieties of capris and gimpy looking collared shirts.
Since FP is basically an avatar display simulator you'd think they might have included some more variety. Everyone is wearing the Kommo-o shit, a basic monochrome edgefest or a Gi.

i’m not 100% saying this proves 2018 (because i dont care the games going to be shit no matter what i just want new mons i can get sick of seeing in OU lol) but i feel like a lot of SSB fans are general nintendo fans and already have the switch for Mario, Splatoon, BOTW, etc. I think games like Pokemon and Animal crossing bring more people to actually buy the console. idk if there are stats for this though because this is just what i assume

Nah, most people buy it within the first 2 weeks before it becomes clear how much is still lacking. Even then people still buy, it happens with all Pokemon games.

I do hope I'm wrong and we get a killer game this time. I don't mind waiting till 2019 if it means better quality.

Smash is already confirmed to be new, dingus. And there are plenty of other games coming before the end of the year. Like Yoshi, individually they're not all big but altogether they become a system seller.

They have no need for Pokemon this year. They do have need for it NEXT year though.
