Consider a huge chunk of those XB1 sales are in the UK, it is safe to say it is doing really bad in Continental Europe.
Well yes... thats 3.2 - 1.6 meaning that the PS4 is at least 7 million to 1.6 in the rest of Europe.
Total sales is 12.4 million means about a 75% market share in Europe.
3.2-1.6? For the UK? It's 2-1.6. Stop spreading lies CosmicSex.

Um... 3.2 million - 1.6 million in UK (http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly/42148/UK/) equals 1.6 in the rest of Europe.
PS4 probably a bit overtracked but still it's causing an onslaught. Nintendo's as dead in Europe as Xbox in Japan.
Well, considering that the WiiU has sold more in Europe than XB, X360 and XOne in Japan combined, that's total bullshit. It also seems like you were excluding the 3DS, which is still doing alright in Europe.
The Xbone has a flat dead line in Japan. Considering it has sold about 60K consoles over there the Wii U in Europe is outselling the XBone in Japan 36 to 1.
PS4 dominating, XB1 doing ok, Wii U absolutely failing. No surprises here.
