I think its incredible that the Switch is dominating the sales charts in these unprecedented circumstances, especially in Japan.
Not only that, but there are STILL shortages and lotteries. Even the popular RFA is having stock shortages.
The holidays will really be interesting and I do wonder how the PS5 will do once it releases this holiday against the Switch in Japan.

Incorrect analysis.

COVID has given gaming an incredible boost worldwide in all sectors. Nearly every gaming company is posting 50-100% gains. COVID has helped gaming rather than hamper it.
