good sales across the Channel, nothing more.

The British market is particularly complex when it comes to the issue of video games. Thus, it is a tradition: Nintendo encounters some difficulties on this market, like the other manufacturers, and if its Switch is currently selling well there, we note no record at the end.

According to Games Industry, Nintendo would have sold 700,000 Switch in the United Kingdom in 2017, a nice performance, but which looks pale next to the scores recorded in other European countries. In France alone, the hybrid machine sold 911,000 copies in 2017.

In Germany, the Switch has sold only 600,000 copies, but this is still a new record for Nintendo from the Wii.

In Great Britain, the Switch therefore did better than the Wii U, but still much less than the Wii which reached 700,000 sales in 38 weeks, against 42 weeks for the PS4, 45 weeks for the Nintendo DS, 46 weeks for PS3 and 50 weeks for PS2. The English market is therefore a little less receptive than expected to the charms of Nintendo, but it has been around for a long time: at the time, SEGA was the undisputed leader against Nintendo on the 8 and 16 bit consoles.
