It’s not ps4, must be a typo
Europe embrace the switch
Why would they when Nintendo doesn't care about localising their products.
I think it ll be difficult for the switch to compete with ps4 in europe, but it ll easily surpass xbox
There's no more Europe. There's only Eurasia now.
Isn't that somewhat low compared to US and Japan?
It's pretty good, not great but good. In comparison it took the PS4 4 months to hit 2m in EU, Switch 8m, and XBO 12m (PAL didn't launch until month 10, and moved XBO from being outsold by PS4 5:1 down to 3:1) to hit 2m.
So Switch should end its first year around 3.5m, XBO 2.1m, PS4 +6m.
Very much so. When a single (small) country is outselling a region, there's something wrong with the advertising or the demographic there. France and Germany seem to be decent fronts for Nintendo. UK, not so much. US seems to have made up a fair portion of that 10 million. We're looking at 2.5 for Japan, 2 for Europe, and maybe 1 for the rest of the World. - which leaves 4.5 for US alone.
I wonder if Italians dislike Mario.
