Here is an extract from Nintendo's Semi-Annual Financial Results Briefing, held on October 26th, 2007.

"We have gathered data provided by independent research companies in the UK, France, Germany and Spain and made this comparison of portable video game hardware sales during January-September periods from 2005 to 2007. These four countries represent 75% to 80% of the total European market. So, by referring to the data in these four countries, I would like to discuss the situation in Europe today."
The first group of charts show hardware sales transitions in Europe.

1. It seems that Nintendo does not have European data other than the sources they have listed.
2. To cover the whole of Europe, Nintendo could have extrapolated the data they gathered.
