Much of the world is dealing with the coronavirus right now, but some regions certainly have it worse than others. Things are quite bad in South Korea, which is second only to China when it comes to the number of those infected. That means lots of people are staying at home to try and avoid getting sick, and they're looking for things to do while being cooped up inside.

Toys R Us Online is benefiting from people staying at home, as they've seen a 336% increased in video game sales over the last 3 days. The major of customers are purchasing the Switch and PS4 in order to keep themselves entertained while they're riding out the virus.
