Beating Wii sales in UK is a much higher bar than beating Wii sales in Germany or France.

Wii sold 1M in 9 months and 2M in 14 months. France and Germany haven't beat that yet either despite their bigger populations.

But that's a point, Nintendo around last 5 years is not popular in UK like it is in other European countries.

3DS and WiiU are more popular in UK than in Germany assuming VGC's numbers are accurate.

UK is only market currently from big European countries where Switch is not best selling console ever or best selling Nintendo console.

That's because Nintendo wasn't as popular in EU countries as it was in UK (low bar). If Wii and DS had the same popularity in Germany as they had in the UK, they would have sold 32M instead of 18M. France would have done 26M like the UK but they only managed 22M.

WiiU/3DS aren't real Nintendo consoles like DS/Wii/Switch are. Disliking the WiiU isn't a sign that Nintendo is unpopular, it's a sign that Dumbtendo is unpopular and that the French have interesting tastes.
