In a news article posted by Bloomberg, Nintendo discussed the possibility of a worldwide shortage of Switch consoles, stating the following:

“We do not see any major impact on the shipment to the U.S. currently, but we will remain vigilant and take steps if necessary,” a Nintendo spokesperson told Bloomberg News. “It’s possible the supply would be affected by the virus if it becomes more widespread and prolonged.”

As of now, Switch shipments for February and March have already been dispatched from Asia, but its definitely possible we may see some shortages in the future if the virus outbreak continues.

The Sonic the Hedgehog film is off to a strong start at the box office – so much so that it has overthrown Detective Pikachu as the best opening weekend for a video game movie. Detective Pikachu earned $54.3 million in 2019 over three days. Meanwhile, Sonic saw a three-day domestic opening of $57 million, which marks a new record for a video game adaptation.

Sonic took home another $43 million overseas for a global total of $100 million through Sunday. It’s also on track for $111 million through Monday. The movie earned $6.7 million in Mexico and another $6.2 million in the U.K.

The good news doesn’t stop there. Sonic is projected to earn $68 million over four days, which would be among the best showings ever for the long Presidents Day weekend.

One could argue that E3 is in a state of flux with certain companies such as Sony deciding not to attend, the transition to make it a more consumer-focused event, and the ESA needing to gain back trust after it pulled a series of blunders including leaking information about members of the media in 2019. Still, the show goes on, and preparations are underway.

Like previous years, Nintendo will be attending this year’s expo. “Several leading video game companies have already committed to participating in E3 2020, including Xbox, Nintendo, Ubisoft, Bethesda Softworks, SEGA, Capcom, Square Enix, Take-Two Interactive Software, Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc., and Warner Bros. Games, among others,” the ESA said in a statement.
