I think they are going to be disappointed with their hardware sales.

What exactly are disappointing hardware sales, anything less than 20m? Also, I hope you're not thinking 2017's line-up will have no further impact on hardware sales. The Switch so far this year is keeping above 200k a week, yet no new game has released, so that can only mean Mario/Zelda/Splatoon/etc. are still selling systems. Naturally it's only gonna go up from here once games start releasing regularly again.

Disappointing sales = significantly below forecast.  Whatever official forecast they give, it will be several million below it.

Mario/Zelda/Splatoon are still helping them now, but they won't move hardware forever.
