Now that Switch vs PS3 comparison in Europe is done, would you be interested in a Switch vs PS4 in Europe one? 

Yeah I think that would be a nice one to help see how close to 45m the Switch will get to.

I was leaning towards doing so. I will probably start it with February's estimates.

yes, of course. Do it.

PS3 put up a good fight, but its last stronghold has finally fallen.
Switch is now one of only 4 non-Sony systems ever to beat a Playstation home console in Europe.

EDIT: And it's tied with PS1 as of these numbers, so by now that's two down.
