When I asked when I could get a Switch here in Luxembourg, the shopkeepers told me "hopefully for you before Christmas", and that in several different stores. You can preorder the thing, but you still have to wait for several months here to actually get one! So demand is certainly not met yet, at least not for all of Europe. And if you consider all SKU, then no, demand isn't met at all yet. You can get one in many regions, but you're not allowed to be picky which one you want, as generally only one variant is available.

You won't find may scalpers in europe, simply because nobody buys overpriced hardware in (continental) europe. Just check denmark where the Switch has a 420$ pricetag and sits on the shelves

Could it be that Luxembourg is one of the smallest markets in the world and not a priority for Nintendo? Because retailers from other European websites suggest that the bigger countries are doing fine.

As for Denmark, well, the Switch is being sold at 200 kr less than the RRP at GameStop.

As for SKUs, are you talking about the colours?

Luxembourg shares it's market with belgium and in some cases with the netherlands too as otherwise, yes, it would be too small. But combined as it is that shouldn't be the case here

Yes, I was talking about the colors
