More systems were actually sold in North America this week than in Europe.
| Platform | NA | Europe |
| Switch | 74,559 | 48,872 |
| PS4 | 50,862 | 84,725 |
| XB1 | 26,065 | 11,427 |
| 3DS | 6,450 | 4,607 |
| Total | 157,936 | 149,631 |
The main differences between North America and Europe are 1) the home console market is far more important in Europe than the handheld market is, and 2) Europeans vastly prefer the PS4 over the XB1. In fact, if we took out UK numbers, then I'm pretty sure the ratio of PS4:XB1 would become significantly more dominant for the PS4. All of this means that most sales go to the PS4 in Europe while in North America sales are split among a variety of systems.
Ironically, Europe is a land of huge diversity in cultures and languages, but their tastes in gaming are fairly uniform. They mostly like home systems not made by Microsoft, and right now that heavily favors the PS4.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
