The Switch 2 launched in France with 169,000 sales. The previous record for a console launch was the PS5 with 107,000.

Still in France, Mario Kart World sold just under 160,000 copies (mostly via the console bundle). This is the biggest start of the year, ahead of AC Shadows' 120,000 copies (excluding digital). This is the biggest start for a Nintendo game since SMB Wonder (~170,000).

FRA+UK+ESP: 169k+165K+108K = 442K. These three countries make up around half of the European Nintendo market. For The whole of Europe the launch weekend is probably around 800K to 900K.

From what I remember he "estimated" the MyNintendoStore sales, which I doubt are included here

Either way, this is the only credible number unless Nintendo gives more details per country (almost impossible)
Solid result

We do sometimes get numbers from Nintendo France, so it might be possible.
