You are aware Switch sold relatively slow in Europe because retailers increased the price compared to the US (330€ at launch) during most of it's first year? Europe is much closer to the US this year than it did last year, even exceeding the US half the time. Taking that 2017 as your base value will skew your statistic just as much as omitting a region does for different reasons.

Even if Switch sales in Europe this year are closer to the US than last year, it doesn't remove the fact that PS4 sells more in Europe compared to the US. And since the sales difference in Europe is bigger than in Japan, PS4 will have the upper hand.

It doesn't remove that fact, but that wasn't part of the question either, the question was how could Switch be selling well if over 37% come from US based on last year's charts. I just told him that this high percentage is due to low sales at start in Europe. It has dropped to around 30% due to a rise in Europe mainly, meaning his calculation is just as off as Zorgs which left out Europe entirely.
