Switch is even leading in Europe, which is currently the strongest market for Sony and the weakest for Nintendo. Nice. The holidays should be going well for Switch this year, next year the star may be the next gen.

I knew Switch would overtake the X1, but I had not imagined it to be that fast. So close now.

Only Pokemon. Star Wars looks better than I expected, but funds and time are limited.

Not interested into either of those franchises.

Would it be possible to include a link to previous weeks at the end of the articles to quickly compare with other weeks? Could be quite helpful imo.
