To be clear, Nintendo has had weaker periods in Europe.  The NES, SNES, and N64 underperformed there.  

The bigger problem with Fifa is that the Switch version is universally recognized as objectively inferior to other major versions.  That it looks a bit better than the PS360 version as EA declares doesn't change that it is missing the big new feature for the game.  As a result, I've seen a lot of rolling of eyes with regards to Fifa.  Skyrim, on the other hand, has had a pretty good reception.  It looks like a much higher effort port, is feature complete, and seems to be at least derived fromthe Special Edition release. I've seen much more positivity with Skyrim.  And the title could very well experience some synergy with Zelda as a lot of people who loved that game and loved having it on the go may be looking for a similar experience.

Honestly, a better comparison would be NBA 2k18 and Skyrim, two feature complete and good effort ports.

no, Fifa Switch will sell a lot more than NBA 2k18.

NBA 2k18 will not be in the ballpark of either Fifa or Skyrim. It'll probably end up sales wise like:      Skyrim >>>> FiFa >>>>>> NBA 18

Yes but like I said, Fifa is hamstrung, which is the only reason it will lose to Skyrim.  As such, I could see NBA 2k outselling it.  If it were a feature complete port and not one already written off by many as half assed, yeah, Fifa would win this easily.  But it isn't, it is blatantly, incontravertibly incomplete.
