Europe is likely undertracked.

Sales end of 2017

Global-????

USA-over 4.8 million

Japan-3.3 million

USA+Japan-over 8.1 million, if we assume roughly 60% again than global sell through should be around 13.5 million.

It is possible, but if the global figure is 13.5m, that would put Europe + RoW at 5.4m, a fair bit larger than USA, which doesn't seem right, especially so early in the Switch's life cycle, as RoW sales usually pick up later when the device is cheaper and more readily available. Selling 3.5m in december alone seems a tall order also. The issue is that even a minute change to that 60% figure causes a large difference. Increase it to just 62% and we're already down from 13.5m to 13m.

The PS4 sold 3m in December, The Switch selling 3.5m in december seems too high.

But look at the other times i gave you

End of Sept

Global-7 million

USA-2.3m

Japan-1.8m

Europe+rest of NA+RotW-2.9m

 

Dec 10

Global-over 10 million

USA-over 3.4m

Japan-2.7m

Europe+rest of NA+RotW-3.9m

 

Europe+rest of NA+RotW were above USA in each of those updates so no reason to be shocked that they are ahead of USA still.

 

And yes the ratio could be slightly different, so 13m is possible.
