Another big year for the Big N

People are lining up outside stores to snag a PS5 or Xbox Series X/S, but it's increasingly looking like Switch is going to wear the crown of hottest holiday item.

While we don't have exact sales numbers, we can easily see that the Switch is selling out everywhere in the states. That's not just the special Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle, but all versions of the system. Nintendo had sent millions of units to stores in advance of the holidays, and somehow it seems just about all of them have been gobbled up. This is even more impressive when you learn Nintendo's shipments of Switch in October were up 30% year-over-year.

If you want a Switch this holiday season, it's going to be incredibly hard to find. Hopefully those of you who wanted one as a gift have locked it down already!
