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.

I'm curious if this is normal or a downward trend?

Well let's look at sales for the last 5 years.

2014 total sales

US-16.1m

EU-15.6m

JP-6.4m

 

2015 total sales

US-15.5m

EU-13.8m

JP-5.5m

 

2016 total sales

US-13.2m

EU-12.9m

JP-4.9m

 

2017 total sales

US-16.7m

EU-16.1m

JP-7.2m

 

2018 total sales

US-16.7m

EU-14.6m

JP-6.0m

 

For the last 5 years EU has been slightly below US and about 2.5x as much as Japan.
