You can, but its hard to have strong hole 1st year and strong hole 2nd year, if thats was easy Nintendo would done that. They one of reasons why they had little slower than expected sales in Q1/Q2 of FY18 year is because Yoshi and Fire Emblem were delayed.

It's doable though, Nintendo just didn't invest enough to make it happen. The possibility of Labo not taking off should've been shored up with core heavy hitters in Q1 and Q2. They have only one platform to support now, they're adapted to HD development, and they have had years to expand their studios, buy up second parties, and court/moneyhat third parties. The days of excuses are over, any failure to deliver now is solely on Nintendo for not properly planning ahead.

They had plenty of 1st/2nd party content this year.
