It'll be above 19-20m but either way that would be higher than the amount of Switch 1's shipped to Europe in its first 9 months so why are you being so negative about how the Switch 2 is doing there? It's objectively selling well there so far. And I quite doubt people will be shocked by its performance in Europe but we'll see.

I think in his mind, the overperformance of the PS5 and the lower ratio for the Switch 2 in this important period might mean that there's an inherent problem with Nintendo's offering ... Despite the fact and the sales numbers demonstrating that this is simply not true. 

One console is doing well(or great even) but it's competitior is doing even better numbers ! Therefore the former must actually be struggling/doing something bad with its current sales strategies.

I think this is the logic with which he stands currently, which is not supported in reality by comparative numbers to what Nintendo usually does in the Euro market. 

Honestly, that attitude borderlines on "concern trolling". But that's prolly going too far.

I don't get how this keeps happening when an older console selling better than a new one at first is a normal thing since consoles peak in the middle of their lives usually. Like this is probably gonna be the PS5's best holiday season in Europe yet thanks to great deals on it so of course it's vastly outselling the Switch 2 there lately.
