Let's compare it to the 3DS sales in france, as of April 2016:
France: 4 Million
Globally: 58.5 Million
So of all 3ds systems sold 6.83% were sold in France.
Now if we assume that France will make up a similar chunk of the Switch market... that would mean to reach 0.8m in France this year it would sell 11.7m this year Globally.
Switch First Year: 11.7m
3DS First Year: 11.4m
It's not as crazy as I expected, France does make up a fair amount of Nintendo's market.
