That is a massive competitive advantage for Nintendo that they can sell good numbers in all 3 major console markets. It basically means Sony has to outsell Nintendo enormously over many years in Europe to have their console sell more than Nintendo's in the future. For example Switch 2 could sell 15-20M in Europe and still reach 80M+ worldwide sales, due to how big their sales potential is in the US, Japan etc, while for Sony such a sales performance in Europe would spell disaster due to their heavy dependancy on the US and EU market.

Sony is extremely strong in Asia outside Japan

PS4 sold 23 million ROW and PS5 will likely surpass that as well 

Last month literally 30% of its total hardware sales (VGC bumbers) were from ROW

Sony only weak market is Japan, but their rumored new handheld should fix this and make them to sell on 15 million range again 

Yes exactly.

Monthly RoW numbers get added to the site when the Japan numbers get posted as well. For the month of November, Switch 2 outsold PS5 by 330.4k in Japan.

Now in the hardware tab for the month of November the totals so far (Japan+Row) for Switch 2 is 765,983k and PS5 is at 751,693k.

So that means PS5 outsold Switch 2 in RoW this month, 665,293k to 349,183k. So close to double the amount this month for PS5 over Switch 2 in RoW.
