To add some context, the Switch isn't doing bad in the other regions (not US and Japan). When compared to the 3DS, the Switch is up life to date. Historically, Nintendo has not done well in Europe as the company never gained a foothold there (Sega did better in Europe, for instance). The DS actually did really well in Europe and other regions (it sold worse in the US IIRC). At the same time, the Switch may be like the DS and have a surge starting in the second year (which is possible as numerous Japanese third parties are pledging exclusives for the Switch and the system has been able to get a lot of software).
As an aside, I would look at the number of games being released on the Switch. We are over 200 now (for a system that launched with 6-7). The second year will have a bigger pipeline
