Probably a bit harsh, no?
Also, for everyone's information: In French, we use "peur" for (fear and scared), in that case, it is the first one and it what he meant was more:
- "I fear that blah blah blah". -> "J'ai peur que bla bla bla"
This clearly does not mean that he is 'scared' of it or even concerned personally. This was just a literal transcription of a French expression, it is like saying:
- "I fear that tomorrow will be a rainy day" -> "J'ai peur que demain soit un jour pluvieux"
While probably not the best English way to say it (just trying to literally translate to explain), this is just because we use that kind of sentence with the word "peur" in French and it has nothing to do with personally being scared or even concerned for the majority of the time, just an expression.
Hopefully, this will get this thread on track which is basically to talk about the impact of Covid 19 and the sales in some countries with a lockdown.
OP: I know that here in Canada, we have some provinces in lockdown and I really think it will affect the sales but not for so long. AND the Switch will be the most affected by it I believe. At the end the Xbox Series X and Play Station Five were already sold out anyway, this won't change anything (even the closed stores will probably find a way to get the console to their owner in the next few weeks). But for the Switch as it was probably way more available than the new console, it will definitely have an impact :( I fear that
