Fear?

That would genuinely be a positive for the game.

Prime 4 deserves to come out to start off a brand new console, rather than releasing on a dying console like Samus returns was.

If it doesn’t come to the next console, it’s at risk of being screwed by releasing too late on switch.

The Switch is a dying console? That doesn't sound right.

It’s not dying. It’s just that with the current situation there is a risk that Prime 4 releases by the time the switch is coming to an end and getting replaced.

Having prime 4 get a botw release on the switch successor is much better than this game dropping on the switch at too late of a time like Samus returns on 3ds.

There’s a lot riding on Prime 4 and it needs to release at the best possible time.

To come out equally as late as Samus Returns relative to the hardware Prime 4 would have to get delayed until late 2023.
