Saying that COVID is continuing to give Switch a boost is non-sensical. U.S is not in lockdown anymore, it's just that Switch has so much momentum going on at the moment.
If COVID was still playing such a huge role then why didnt Switch smash Holiday records? I see Shadow likes to use March-Oct gains to contribute to COVID only but then conveniently leaves out the holiday period...

Here is a fun fact. 1st Stimulus payments came between March and October (many delays) . 2nd stimulus payments came after December. 3rd stimulus payments are coming in now. The only large gap in stimulus payments is during the holiday period.

So now is COVID the factor is stimulus?

Also last years first stimulus wasnt until April, not March. So that means March is all due to Animal Crossing, right? Since we're now saying its due to stimulus.

And even though some were delayed (not just til October, some were delayed until December but you conveniently left this off) the majority received the stimulus in April and May meaning they werent really a factor after that.
