Reported numbers so far for Switch 2 launch:

• UK: 160K+ (Switch 2 Had the Biggest Nintendo Launch in the UK, But Falls Below PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PS4)
• France: 169K?! (https://bsky.app/profile/oscarlemaire.bsky.social/post/3lrbjknrnxr2k )
• Spain: 108K (Switch 2 Reportedly Sold 108,000 Units in Spain at Launch to Smash Records)

All three are over 2 times Switch 1 launch. Spain launch sales being 2.4 times Switch 1. If sales are 2.4 times Switch 1 like in Spain in the rest of Europe we could be talking 1 million sold week 1 in Europe.

Updated France numbers. French journalist Oscar Lemaire is reporting Switch 2 sold 169K in France. Beating previous record of 107K set by the PS5.

There is some debate if Oscar Lemaire's sales figures includes MyNintendostore sales or if they are only retail sales. Could be the case that the 200K sales is MyNintendostore sales included as well?

That is possible. 169K does seem low as that is on par with the UK and France is a much bigger market for Nintendo than the UK is. It is also possible Nintendo shipped roughly the same number of units to the UK and France.
