Xbox One selling more than Switch in Europe have an (easy) explanation. As an example here in Denmark the Xbox One console is insanely cheaper than the Nintendo Switch. Some retailers as Power and Elgiganten oftenly lower their Xbox One prices to less than 200 euro including a game. I personally bought a XOne S for the price of 160 euro, including Assassin's Creed Origins the day after Christmas. As a comparison, my Switch was bought for 300 euro, almost double of the price.

What a great deal on X1, makes Switch not that much desirable in comparison at the same time.

The pricing and value offered by Switch versus the other systems has always been off to me (I have always believed the price is between $100-$50 too high). I feel a key factor that could hurt Switch in 2018 will be its price (lineup will also be key but at this point the line up is most unknown). With that being said though when I look at the number I do not feel the desirability of the Switch (at least versus the Xbox One in Europe; PS4 in Europe is a whole other story) is really at stake, after all as mentioned above MS was selling the system nearly at half the price of the Switch and bundling games as well and yet, in this week anyway, it managed to only do better by around 10K.
