Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has provided further insight into the company’s initial sales expectations for Switch 2.

As part of yesterday’s financial results, we heard that Nintendo is forecasting 15 million units sold for the first year. Following up on that, during the Q&A portion of the company’s briefing, an investor brought up that this seems to be a somewhat conservative number.
