Just to specify that despite the launch of the new consoles, Nintendo plans to make more money this fiscal year than they originally announced.
Furukawa: "Animal Crossing: New Horizons becoming a major hit and encouraging hardware purchases among so many consumers goes beyond impacting the business this one year and is extremely significant to the overall Nintendo Switch life cycle."
