You ignoring fact that is one of UK is weakest Nintendo market in Europe, and if you actually look sales numbers of past Nintendo hardware for UK you will see that's actually decent number.

you admittedly say nintendo performs weakly in the UK and then argue that the switch launch isnt weak. geez. 

Offcourse that Nintendo performing weak in UK, and with that on mind Switch numbers in UK are good compared other Nintendo hardware sales numbers in UK.

"There wasn't a huge number of units pushed into the channel (most major retailers are sold out) and the marketing and PR campaign was truncated and arrived late in the day. Retailers tell us that they were very happy with the launch and one store even declared: "Nintendo is back."

Solid start, especially considering its not on holidays(and depends if there was much stock to begin with too).And also considering that UK is a weak market for Nintendo.

Lets see how it fares in the comming months



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

There's only 1 Switch available on Amazon.co.uk, it seems to be very popular in the UK.



Sales prediction, PS4: 122 Million, Xbox one: 50 million, Switch: 105 million.
