Will the Switch have the greatest selling console calendar year of all time?

You cannot buy luxuries like consoles if you are unemployed. With these facts, I can say that consoles should have sold more if COVID-19 pandemic never happened. The increase in console sales is just minimal and therefore the 3 consoles should have sold more especially the Switch. Switch sales is simply a phenomenon, just admit it.

Literally posted showing figures showing that video game spending during the pandemic is the highest it's been in a decade and this is your argument still. Your figures that unemployment has gone up are completely meaningless compared to those. Clearly a discussion with you isn't worth continuing.

But for other people I will repost the point I made on why video game spending is going up:

"It must be remembered that money that would have been spending on eating out, leisure activities and other forms of entertainment is no longer being spent there. Money is being shifted from industries that are being closed due to the pandemic (cinema, restaurants, clubs, sport events) and instead in some cases being spent on video games."

Video game spending during the pandemic is the highest it's been in a decade? Yes that's right as we can see with the numbers you presented. But my point is, even without the pandemic we might also see the same sales numbers with the Switch and even much, much higher and can easily match or even surpass DS' 2008 sales because people did not lose their jobs and their purchasing power and that is simply my point of argument. I hope you got it
