I don't know why you'd make such a flawed comparison. France is Europe's second-biggest market (at times traded second and third place with Germany) and not far behind the UK, so there's nothing farfetched about suggesting that incredible sales in France scale to at least good sales in the other European countries.

On the other hand, Japan is a much bigger market than the rest of Asia combined, so performance in Asia doesn't indicate anything about Japan. Not to mention that we get plenty of official data for the Japanese market, so there's no reason to estimate anything to begin with.

France may be even 50% of Europe if want, still PS4 lead on Europe was so big that you using Switch doing good in France as any measure of Europe success is as silly as putting that because PS4 is doing good in a region it is doing any good in a particular country.

The part is not the total and the total is not the part

France made up 20-25% of European totals for DS, Wii, 3DS & Wii U so if we assume a similar percentage for Switch (no reason not to) than Europe should be ~4 million give or take for Switch.

This site has it at 2.92m with one week left so ~3 million with that week added in. Europe is most likely undertracked for Switch.
