Don't forget that we are in the middle of the Corona crisis. It is hard for companies to give accurate forecasts right now, Nintendo does not yet know how heavily software development will be affected by the virus and how much hardware production will be affected. It's only logical to be conservative with their estimates. Edit: Nintendo's original forecast for FY 2019 was 18 million. They outdid that by 3m units. |
Yeah, I would assume they took that into account unless they also outdid their 18/19 forecast by a few million?
Corona seems to have given the industry a boost (for now), but I agree that its difficult to forecast because we don't know how things will develop. and whether we'll see major delays to software.
