But it does. Since the GfK numbers for France have been revealed, all of Europe has been adjusted up by VGC. This in turn means that Switch is doing well in Europe, so portraying Europe as a worrisome region for Nintendo has no basis in reality. |
I think the point is the Switch is doing its best in Europe in France with all other countries much weaker. So by mentioning only France you skew the data to be more positive for the Switch rather than give a realistic portrayal of whats happening. I don't know about elsewhere in the world but from what I've read/heard the Switch in Europe is selling to a lower age demographic so Christmas with parents buying presents is going to give high numbers for Switch that may not represent its year round sales in comparison to ps4 and xbox one that sell to a wider age audience in Europe.
Also with regard the ps4 I believe its likely the ps4 pro will become the default ps4 at some point with the standard ps4 phased out so there is no reason to think the ps4 is in its last peak year it could well increase numbers with both new owners and those upgrading to pro. The pro performance level is still good for many years yet.
There is also the possibility that the Xbox X will be more aggressively priced to and gain significant sales and the Switch may get a significant hardware update that both lowers the price and improves portability and could cause a huge increase in sales. All 3 are still in the game so to speak but Europe definitely isn't a comparable region to US or Japan with regards the Switch yet. It will be interesting to see how its all changed a year from now. I still expect ps4 to be top in sales for Europe at least.
