Wow I had no idea ps2 was 750 here. If price and stock are a complete non issue in Europe/Australia, those sales are even more concerning. To be fair I have noticed that the majority of people I know locally haven't even heard of the switch let alone have it. Do you see sales in Europe for Switch doing better in the future? I feel like currently, PS4 is such a hit there/here that the switch is being forgotten. US and Japan a completely different story of course. |
Over here—New Zealand—PS4 is the best-selling console in history.
At this point I think our region is just Sony's by right. We're not exactly a massive market, but everyone here is just so familiar with the Playstation brand. I imagine it's similar in Aussie land.
Trying to even mention Nintendo just gets me laughed at or outright shunned, and I play on the other systems with people. They're all into their Density, cod etc. and even the ones who admit it's terrible don't quite like them still let others drag them into playing it all the time.
360 was a bit different last gen since Xbox is a bit closer to what people here are comfortable with, although PS3 still remained heavily popular, but I don't think Nintendo will ever be able to get a firm footing in our region. We don't have the same nostalgia bonus for Nintendo that NA does sadly.
