I agree with OP’s analysis. Although it will be interesting to see if 2021 is in fact peak year for Switch in Europe.
At the moment I don’t see Switch having the long lifespan of the gameboy in Europe that would get it to 40 million, but I’m happy to see that people agree that it’s at least on track to beat the PS3 by a comfortable margin. I’m tipping 36-38 million. Enough for Nintendo to maintain a strong foothold in Europe and give Nintendo’s successor a strong chance of launching successfully in what will by then be a dominant PS5 market, but still have room for a more portable machine. Much like how the PSP found a way to do well in Europe despite tough competition.
To be honest I’m still excited that Switch is capable of doing more than 35 million in Europe against a dominant PS4. That kind of number seemed impossibly optimistic before the Switch launched.
