According to VGCharts Switch sales were 16.15% of Switch 2's numbers in Europe this Feb. So  I wouldn't extrapolate to 1%, of course we don't know the actual UK mix...

I suspect switch 2 is closer to 45%, PS5 a bit less (like 42%) and Switch and Series consoles competing for that remaining 12%.

If Switch 2 was actually over 50% I'm sure Chris Dring would of said that

NS2 selling anywhere near 50% in year two in a region traditionally dominated by Sony is kinda crazy TBH. Pokopia really brought a big wave of momentum to those NS2 figures, huh? Curious how much the Mario movie will boost sales: IIRC NS1 saw a pretty generous bump during the first few weeks of April 2023, back when the OG Mario movie released.

It's an impressive feat for sure, but given the context I don't think its crazy. PS5 is entering it's 6th year, XBox is dead and the Switch was a huge success. I do think people often down talk Nintendo's success in the UK. The Switch 1 was the best selling console for several years on market. Wii outsold the PS3 and DS outsold the PSP by huge margins.
