This shows how bad Nintendo in general performs in europe. Japan has 130 million inhabitants, europe has 750 million. Even if you only count the EU, that are over 500 million people. Nintendo really needs to step up their game in europe, it hurts them that they are so behind in this region.

Europe in general is behind than if going by population.

Population

United States-325m

European Union-512m

Japan-127m

 

Total sales this week

US-171,505

Europe-216,846

Japan-100,223

 

The EU has ~4x the population of Japan but only ~2x the sales and ~1.5x the population of the US but only ~1.25x the sales.

If you factor in PC gaming you your have a much more harmonized picture. PC gaming is much more prevalent in Europe than in the US, and infinitely more than Japan.
