The only thing i could see happening is PS5 outselling Switch 2 in Europe this year, just like it did last year. Europe has been the softest market for Switch 2, and was the only major market that didn't see a good amount of Switch 2 shipments during the last quarter. Switch 2 will likely win in NA, Japan and in Asia outside Japan looking at how competitive other region sales have been with European sales for Switch 2 as of yet.

Sony really needs to get PS6 right in Europe from a price perspective, its the only major console market where they have a big natural advantage in appeal over Nintendo, losing that advantage even slightly would be a nightmare for Sony in the long run.

The trick thing about the European market is that its not a market, its a combination of some very different markets. Yes, Sony has an edge historically on it, but Nintendo leads in France and is quite competitive in the UK. Sony has an stranglehold in places like Spain, but it is hard to not lose some marketshare in so many different markets when your price tag seems out of you control due to an insane supply crisis.
