Switch is still selling more in Japan than in all of Europe. It seems like it is still mostly the handheld market buying the Switch. I do think that will gradually change though.

Which is kind of weird because we got actual sell through numbers from Nintendo in each region at the last quarterly presentation.

April-December sell through

Japan- ~2.9 million

North America- ~5.0 million

Europe- ~3.8 million

Yeah, Japan outselling Europe doesn't seem right with those numbers. However, most of it came through the holidays, as in June, after 3 months, Japan was slightly in front.However, in Summer Europe passed Japan by quite some margin, leaving me to believe Goldenweek might have been the main reason for the lead in Q1. So Europe probably undertracked, but not by very much.
