I mean Switch 2 is selling less than 1/4th of PS5 during November in Europe, they are basically playing the same insignificant role in Europe as PS5 plays in Japan in terms of market share.

The Switch was getting destroyed by the PS4 in Europe for a while but its final sales total will only be a few million less so it's not like Japan even remotely. Now a notable part of it getting that close to the PS4 was the pandemic so I fully expect the Switch 2 to decline but it should still outsell the Wii here which is the 6th best selling console of all time in Europe so it'll do well here. Playstation is more popular than Nintendo in Europe but Nintendo still clearly has a major presence here so your consistent downplaying of that lately is getting really weird and with stuff like comparing Playstation vs Nintendo in Europe to Japan is reaching denying reality levels of absurd.

It should also be noted that the Switch effectively enjoyed about two extra years of added hardware sales compared to PS4. PS4's production was capped soon after COVID, which started 2-3 years of production troubles for Sony, and boosted Nintendo's numbers.

Nintendo (post WiiDS) vs Sony isn't that close in Europe. But it's certainly nowhere near as bad as Japan lol. It's much closer to the US.
