The results were obtained by the gaming website Cribbage Challenge, which looked at Google Trends and compared game console search data for each European country over the last 12 months. The Switch was the most searched console, with Top search results in 24 countries, including France, Spain, and the Netherlands; The PS5 is the next most popular in 20 countries, including Germany and Norway; The Xbox Series X lags far behind, ranking first in only three countries: Hungary, Kosovo, and the UK.

These results are generally in line with the sales figures for each console, but the Switch has the advantage of being a few years ahead of the PS5 and Xbox Series X. The Switch has sold 108 million units since 2017; The PS5 has sold more than 20 million units since 2020; The Xbox Series X has sold about 15 million units since 2020.
