Following on from wonderful performances in Japan and a huge new record in the US, Nintendo Switch is now taking Europe by storm.

Do these latest Xbox One and Nintendo Switch numbers surprise you?

According to the Spanish wing of Gamereactor, the hybrid console has now surpassed the 300K of sales Microsoft's console - which launched on 22 November 2013 - with Switch said to have sold 300K+ in just 10 months.

Celtics guard Smart injures hand hitting picture frame
Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart has issued an apology on Twitter after injuring his hand at a team hotel earlier this week. But I think, you know, it is what it is, and our other guys will be looking forward to the challenge tomorrow".

On the 2017 Christmas Eve, this "Sorpasso" happened; as most of the people had predicted it that this could happen.

The Switch is so far selling faster than the original Wii over in Spain, although no official numbers have been shared yet. It seems Microsoft was betting a bit too much on the Xbox One X. As this happened in Spain, there is still a fight in France going on between these two Giants. Xbox One sits at 300,000 units sold, and Nintendo's hybrid system has passed that number. As of December 2017, Switch became the best-selling Nintendo console in France with 911,000 units sold.

It will be interesting to see how 2018 fares when it comes to hardware sales. If someone picks up the PlayStation 4, Xbox One or PC version of the game from the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store or Steam, it is $29.99.
