What we have so far.

• UK: 160K+
• France: 200K (Retail only, excludes My Nintendo Store)
• Spain: 55K-60K

NS2 launch sales in UK and France are 2x or higher than NS1, while it is ~33% higher in Spain. Depending on how sales are in the rest of Europe we could be talking around 800,000 units sold in Europe for launch week.

For those curious here are the VGChartz estimates for Europe for launch weeks:

1. PS5 - 785K
2. PS4 - 707K
3. PSP - 569K
4. PS3 - 516K
5. NS - 439K
6. XS - 343K
7. 3DS - 330K
8. Wii - 322K
9. X1 - 312K
10. DS - 300K
11. X360 - 231K
12. Wii U - 178K
13. PSV - 167K

That would be pretty impressive for a Nintendo console to have the biggest launch in history in Europe, a market they have often struggled heavily against Playstation since the 1990s.
