I Dont see how it's strange at all, both viewpoints are completely true. Like you said, Japan is helping Switch have a healthy lead over PS4 and like I said, Europe is helping PS4 be competitive with Switch. My point is that both have to be taken into account when talking about regional differences.

So true. I'm so sick and tired of people who pointing out that the Switch is the best selling console only because of Japan. PS4 would sell like a typical 6 year old console without those abnormal Europe numbers. Microsoft really lost many Xbox 360 customers to PS4. Look at those terrible Xbox One numbers in Europe... Last Gen it was about 50/50 between Sony and Microsoft in Europe.

No it wasn't. PS3 had a great lead in EU. It's how Sony stayed competitive with MS very dominant lead in the US. The mass majority of PS3 sales came from EU. Now if you said just the UK, then that would be more factual. EU is "Sonyland".
