I think game releases will be an interesting issue for Nintendo, not to mention every other company in the industry. As Phil Spencer mentioned, game releases are likely to be affected by COVID-19. Nintendo will have to be flexible about what games they can provide release dates for. If games are not going to be released as initially scheduled, internally, then we don't know how the hardware sales will work out, especially for the next-gen systems. Can Sony sell consoles for the first 1-2 years, based off of hype for the second generation in a row? Will Spider-man 2, Horizon Zero Dawn 2, and whatever Sony exclusive be released within launch month/window? Will there be any other big title other than Halo: Infinite releasing this holiday for Xbox Series X? One or two months after launch?

There are things still uncertain for everything related to economics, at least in the US, as I previously mentioned.
