Why doesn't Xbox sell as well as Switch or Playstation in Europe?

If Americans buy consoles based on patriotism, then explain to me why Japanese cars dominate the American market. On the other hand, when I went to Germany I saw a lot of the crappy VWs and Audis on the streets and almost none of the much superior Toyotas and Hondas. There might be trade barriers that prevent a bigger presence o Japanese cars in that market though. I don’t know.

A big portion of Americans are patriots for the right reasons, such as their history and their accomplishments as a nation. Can I say the same about Europeans, when they buy inferior European cars and prefer to pay more for a console that offers 90% of the same content as their closest competitor, because it’s not American? If anything, this weird and quite frankly ungrateful anti-American sentiment in Europe seems bigger than patriotism in America.

Europeans weigh, size and weight, and how far a car can drive pr litter gas, alot more than americans do.
Alot of people dont want a big super car, or a "superior" (bigger/expensive car).

They want something thats small enough to make getting around narrow lanes, and has easy parking (again down to size), and doesnt use too much gas. Some of this is due to things that add to costs, like a "weight tax" on cars, and how expensive gas is in europe.

1 litter is like 0,25 gallons (abit more, but roughly) and costs like 1,60$  (so thats like paying 6,4$ pr gallon at a gas station).
(apparently thats like 3-4 times as much as in the USA?)

Also if europe was so against Toyotas, then why is it like the 2nd or 3rd most bought brand in europe (currently)?
