Xbox outsold Switch in Europe? Shame on you, Europe.

Nah, it's cool. Xbox is a better console than Switch so it makes sense we'd buy more of 'em.

Xbox One selling more than Switch in Europe have an (easy) explanation. As an example here in Denmark the Xbox One console is insanely cheaper than the Nintendo Switch. Some retailers as Power and Elgiganten oftenly lower their Xbox One prices to less than 200 euro including a game. I personally bought a XOne S for the price of 160 euro, including Assassin's Creed Origins the day after Christmas. As a comparison, my Switch was bought for 300 euro, almost double of the price.

The numbers were adjusted slightly. The Bar graph has been updated on the front page (and here), however, the figures chart hasn't updated yet. Some previous weeks were also adjusted slightly.

I do know the Switch is currently overtracked as Nintendo announced 10 million sold on Dec 13. They didn't announce when it hit the figure, so best guess is for the week ending December 9. Adjustments will happen once I figure out sales for that week.

They did say when they hit the figure - december 10th.

EDIT: Nvm, I see Torillian already specified this.

Nice PS4 numbers, again over 1M... and X1 wasn't able to outsell it even in USA for the week.

On the good news WiiU barely outsold PS3.

What a great deal on X1, makes Switch not that much desirable in comparison at the same time.

PS4 will always better Nintendo sales in Europe irrespective of price. Europeans love CoD and FIFA - a lot of people only own the console for those instalments - nintendo haven't had a good version of either game in forever.

Why are you people so obsessed with how many units have been sold? You can just sense them salivating and getting so excited  when the PS4 or switch numbers come through. Why? What does it matter to you?? 

Because success matters. Seeing Sales consoles hit 1 million in a week or 80-100 million in a generation almost guarantees you'll see the next gen console come out next. More sales on hardware brings more sales on software giving developers confidence that their title is going to get the widest dissemination. We watch sales because we are gamers and want to at least be knowledge of a games success.

The pricing and value offered by Switch versus the other systems has always been off to me (I have always believed the price is between $100-$50 too high). I feel a key factor that could hurt Switch in 2018 will be its price (lineup will also be key but at this point the line up is most unknown). With that being said though when I look at the number I do not feel the desirability of the Switch (at least versus the Xbox One in Europe; PS4 in Europe is a whole other story) is really at stake, after all as mentioned above MS was selling the system nearly at half the price of the Switch and bundling games as well and yet, in this week anyway, it managed to only do better by around 10K.

Hopefully with those hardware numbers Xenoblade 2 would do well ^^
