What chart are you referring to?

where it show NA, japan and europe. it showed japan and europe were basically selling the same till jan 23 2018.

Ah, now I know which one you mean. You mean this one on page 2, right?

Check again please. While both end up at the same level, if you look closely you'll see Europe was actually trailing behind Japan until the holiday season. The reason for that I told you several times already in other threads I think: Higher launch price (330€) because retailers wanted a bigger margin (Nintendo didn't set a MSRP for Europe) and no Fifa until fall. Since then, the price in Europe has normalized to 299€ and Fifa is increasing the baseline in Europe.

Europe is sailing away since then in terms of Hardware sales. Just look at the information from last quarter: Shipments to Japan: 3.78M in the last financial year( meaning excluding the launch month). Europe? 5.33M

At the same time, we have no guarantee the PS4 is still selling so well in Europe
