Well I think the mere fact Switch has come as close as it has (on launch year even) is pretty impressive already. To think a year ago people thought it'd be another failure, yeah, we've come a good way.

I mean, the PS4 is the PS4. It's a beast. It's been selling like hotcakes ever since it launched and shows no signs of slowing down at this point. Seriously, the fact that this is the system we're comparing the Switch to is amazing on its own.

Boring.

France, first ten months:

Switch - 911k
Wii - 700k
PS4 - 650k

Last time I checked, Europe is not called France.

Did you check which continent it belongs to?

Europe as a whole is not called France. Simple enough?

Is your point that Switch isn't doing well in Europe?

Nope. Just that your point about France doesn't really counter "There's nothing nintendo can do about Europe" .

Yes exactly. And Nintendo consoles sometimes take a longer time to catch up in Europe but they usually end up doing well. There is no way it will do worst than this year tho so. But we can say that Switch sales in NA are insane. It will most likely continue or go up a little in America and it will most likely be up by a pretty big margin in Japan since it was so low in shipments and they will finally hit a nice weekly number.

But it does. Since the GfK numbers for France have been revealed, all of Europe has been adjusted up by VGC. This in turn means that Switch is doing well in Europe, so portraying Europe as a worrisome region for Nintendo has no basis in reality.

I didn't "protray" any of that. That's just you rambling. Nintendo doesn't threaten Sony's hold over Europe so "There's nothing Nintendo can do about Europe" is still the case. France in and itself won't change that. Nintendo doing well in Europe won't change that. It would have to do better than Sony in Europe to dispel that. Nintendo can still do well in Europe while Sony has a hold over Europe.

It is great that the Hardware numbers on vgchartz are only few weeks behind. Now I hope that the Software numbers will also be able to reduce the gap.

yeah, they do really hard work to catch up
