Nintendo doesn't have as deep roots historically in Europe as they do in America and Japan, as the NES was not the phenomenon there that it was in the other two. PS1 opened much of Europe to console gaming, hence that's the brand most older gamers have nostalgia for, at least in the home space.

Switch did well to surpass PS1 and PS3 in Europe given this context.
