Interesting topic you touched on. As someone that has not been to Colombia before. It did seem odd that we don't hear much about the gaming culture or just gaming in general on that side of the world. I have seen you mention about the themed stores and arcades. But that is quite different to gaming from home. Don't get me wrong. Older console are awesome, but I would have love to see gaming grow more in those regions. There is nothing wrong with the Switch. So its quite cool to hear that it is doing quite well in Colombia.

Yeah, despite lower stock, gaming is definitely embraced by a lot of people in Colombia, and the stigma of it just being a "nerd hobbie" seems far less prominent. Switch games are probably more abundant than games from any other platform I think. They're still rarely sold in bulk, but I find that it's easier to find Switch games I'm looking for compared to say, PS5 games, which are fairly minimal.
