In France, it's a 50/50 split between Nintendo and PlayStation. The main difference is that Nintendo appeals to a wider audience, especially children. The original Switch was a huge success in France thanks to its aggressive pricing: it was €279. Many parents bought Switch 1 consoles for their children, sometimes even two or three per household. Now, with the Switch 2, the price is much higher, so parents who bought the original Switch are hesitant to upgrade to the Switch 2, which they consider too expensive. Furthermore, there are still plenty of games being released for the original Switch. The fact that the original Switch is still selling well is also hurting Switch 2 sales. It's not 2017 anymore; many things have changed, especially in the economy. There's significant price inflation in Europe, including in France. In 2017, many customers bought both the Switch and the PS4. Now, customers have to choose between the PS5, the Switch 2, and the Xbox Series. Many people can no longer afford to buy two consoles these days.
