Still haven't actually seen one in a store yet, about two years after launch.

I've been saying for years the Playstation brand is that popular even non asians prefer Playstation, But to me Nintendo is really up my ally in their games etc Then again I really love games on PS4 like Koihime Enbu, A Magical Virtual On, Border Break Japan Exclusive, Senran Kagura etc I kinda feel flattered those that never had any Asian in their DNA like these brands just ignore me I'm just being real even though I'm 1/6th asian :P

I did another of my "Game News Roundup" videos. In it I go over the latest VGChartz estimates and gaming news. 

The holidays are gonna be very interesting to watch this year, with supply of the 9th gen home consoles easing.
Switch should be high gear as well with the arrival of Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, the associtated OLED model, and the overall momentum and evergreen catalog it has built up.

Numbers are picking up, let's keep the momentum.

The improvement in supply should hopefully mean Switch won't have to deal with material shortages either, as it too has been affected by the chip crunch to a lesser extent.

Also, though I realize they'd only tell half the story these days, there are times I really miss the software charts.

If you check the Platform Totals page and look at Japan sales, the Switch is now exactly 6 million units behind the Game Boy.
If it maintains its current pace, there's a chance it could pass it, and possibly even the DS, by the end of next year!

Completely different tech and nodes, Switch shortages have been much less severe than the other consoles, so I don't think PS5 improving their production would mean there is less shortage to Switch.
