I just had a thought:
The worldwide lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2020 to 2022 led to higher-than-usual birth rates. These “Corona babies” are now coming of age, which may be contributing to additional Nintendo Switch sales.
Many people believe that the pandemic directly caused extra Switch sales because people were stuck at home. But perhaps that view is slightly off. It may not be the increased sales during the pandemic itself — since many of those buyers would likely have purchased a Switch sooner or later anyway — but rather the additional children born during that time who are now reaching gaming age and driving new sales.
