Different regions have different sales curves. Look at the data Nintendo gave in last quarters financial presentation. April-December 2018 Japan, +4% YoY North America, +18% Europe, +40%
Europe had huge growth last year while Japan was minimal and N. America was moderate. Notice how Japan had the smallest growth in 2018 but the highest growth in 2019? It had more room for improvement while Europe had large growth in 2018 so its room for improvement is lower this year. PS4 sales in 2017 are another good example. This was the year where PS4 had its global peak, up 2.7m YoY, but NPD+Media Create actually had it slightly down about 300k YoY. This means that US+Japan were down 300k while Europe+RotW were up by 3m.
Just because 2 of the 4 regions are up/down, does not mean the other 2 will follow the same trend. Switch could very well be undertracked but your reasoning behind it is flawed. |
We'll have to wait and see where switch lands in April when we get the first quarterlies since Europe won't give us any info till then.
