I would be really shocked if switch doesn't do 1M in November

Either huge Switch sales or low stock for the PS5, considering that Switch outsold the PS4, PS5, XB1 and XSX|S combined by a bigger than a 2:1 ratio.

Most likely both I imagine.

That's a good article.  I didn't realize that RFA is now available in China along with the 3 original launch games.  I can see RFA really taking off there.

Are there any credible numbers from China that can be added to the Globals? More a question directed at @trunkswd

Not really. The way ioi set up the hardware figures years ago he lumped all of Asia together (minus Japan).

Ah, yes. Russians, Indians, Chinese, Southwest Asians (formerly called Middle Easterners). They have such a unified culture, way of life, religion, and language.

Russia would be part of our "Other Europe" and we have "MEA" for Middle East and Africa. But yeah the rest of Asia is altogether. 

I was more speaking about how people lump continents together, not necessarily this game's videogame chart tracking. Russians are part of Asia, as Saudi Arabians, Indians, Chinese, etc. Unlike the other continents which are mostly ethnocentric, Asia is full of variety.
