So NSW hardware sales continue to increase over last years totals... wonder if that "pandemic" bump theory still holds up...

Funny thing is everything is open in Japan since May 2020. That's why I facepalm is disbelief every time a japanese publishers use Covid as excuse for delaying their games for more than 2 or 3 months 

Just because there is no mandatory lock-down doesn't mean that there have been no measures. We know that a lot of Japanese companies were moving to WFH which was a huge problem in Japan as it is not the norm to have large homes with computers and wired internet. Even computer affine people (like software devlopers) often only have Laptops and mobile internet from their phones which is simply not good enough for AA-AAA development. You need powerful workstations and fast internet to efficiently work from home in game development.
