Going by the latest sales figures posted here for Spain, if the Europe numbers are correct, then it would mean that the Spanish numbers would represent nearly 20% of the entire European market. I'm pretty sure the ratio isn't that high, therefore the European sales as a whole would be higher, for that week at least.

IIRC there is a big sales week in Spain either 1st or 2nd week of Jan, can't recall what it's for but Spain would be a bigger proportion of the market that week (whether 20% is typical I don't know)

polofresco also posted the 2020 totals for Spain, which when compared to VGC Europe puts Spain at 7% of European market for Switch, & 5.6% for PS4

Hmmm you could be right but it would also raise 2 questions. Firstly, (thanks, your figures helped,) would the big sales week be enough to propel Spain from 7% to roughly 20%?

Secondly, given that some areas of Europe have cultural similarities, wouldn't there similarly be a big sales week elsewhere in Europe too, giving a boost a little bigger for Europe as a whole but also at the same time lessening the % increase Spain would have to calculate for if those figures (Europe total) are correct?
