The latest episode of the BBC's World Business Express has run a feature on the performance of Nintendo's Switch 2 console, featuring none other than mecha expert, Forbes contributor and software developer Ollie Barder.
Speaking to the BBC from Tokyo, Ollie outlines the trend in the Switch 2's sales performance, software sales and how it compares to the Switch 1. It's a short but informative section that appears at the 5:45 minute mark on the episode, which can be found on the BBC's website by clicking here.
We interviewed Ollie back in 2020 - his mecha expertise is practically legend at this point thanks to his Mecha Damashii website, but his work on Forbes covering Japanese toys and games software has helped to bring Japanese culture to a wider Western audience. It would take too long to go through all his work here, but I recommend reading the interview to see how influential he's been across anime, games and culture. Alternatively you can find his work on his AllMyLinks page.
