Given the disastrous results of the move to the Wii U from the Wii some years ago, it's understandable why Nintendo would be worried, given the absolutely stellar continued performance of the Switch by contrast.

Schemes like Nintendo Switch Online's subscriptions might help to tie people in more than they have previously managed, although continuing to put out classic titles in the Mario, Zelda and Pokémon franchises among others will likely also play a major role.
