It's probably because of the price. In Europe, Switch costs the equivalent of 350 USD at minimum.

oh damn thats pricey as hell, around 450 AUD minimum. almost as much as it actually costs here (469 AUD). once supply isnt an issue at all, surely they will cut the price.

The Australian dollar is weak these days. You can't just do a conversion and say it's expensive. Do you remember what the PS2 launched at? AU$749. The Switch is €100 less than the PS4 at launch. And there is no supply issue in Europe and Australia. And for the record, the Switch has already gone on sale twice at ebgames this year.

Wow I had no idea ps2 was 750 here. If price and stock are a complete non issue in Europe/Australia, those sales are even more concerning. To be fair I have noticed that the majority of people I know locally haven't even heard of the switch let alone have it. Do you see sales in Europe for Switch doing better in the future? I feel like currently, PS4 is such a hit there/here that the switch is being forgotten. US and Japan a completely different story of course.

I tried to buy a switch here in UK and it was sold out in the stores at the time, doesn't say much about supply really except yeah that day I couldn't buy a switch in that city
