True, the video game market seems strangely insulated from disasters for some reason. 

I expected people staying indoors would mean fewer folks heading out to buy consoles, but apparently not.

It is usually the entertainment business that stays strong during these times. Though with a pandemic movie theaters are affected poorly. However, anything you can do at home are doing well. This includes gaming, Netflix, Twitch, YouTube, etc.

Oh I expected stuff like online sales and streaming services to do well as you can do it from home, but since buying a console requires one to leave their house and go out in public to a store, I thought that would fare less well.
