Europe seems to don`t care much about Switch

Normally I make the disclaimer about scalping prices but didn't on this occasion. There are still many suppliers at the standard price in addition to the scalpers. Stock does seem to favour the neon model though which is more easily available.

Both Amazon and Tesco have a promotion on something like £20 off code so people could pick up The Switch for £259.99 so stock there was in greater demand because of the discounting.

I don't see many suppliers when I click the link. All I see is some on ebay, some available bundle but not the console alone, or something like "we have reserved some"

And even if you get it "easily" in UK that doesn't change that you don't get it easy in many other European countries and that simply means that sales are lower as they could be. 

Like I said in my first post in this thread, that doesn't mean that Switch will always sell better as PS4 here but right now it seems as if it would sell better if there would be more consoles retailers could sell. 

I don't agree with your analysis, it looks to me you can order from Nintendo's own site and a few others plus walk into pretty much any Argos store and get one if your not fussed about which colour but I think in Europe there are markets even easier to get the Switch just not Germany or France. 

When the Switch launched in the UK strong demand meant you couldn't get a Switch unless from a scalper and now it looks like you can just buy one even if your choice of retailer is reduced. I don't know what these scalpers are going to do with all their Switch's, they don't appear to be selling. I guess these will drop to standard retail prices or below. Personally with the first batch having some issues I'd rather get a later batch Switch anyway so would consider these inferior.
