Could someone post some HW launch numbers for UK (+ other EU countries)?
Do we even expect to get launch HW sales for Switch?

Second place for Halo Wars 2 aren't necessarily good news at all when we take into account that it couldn't top the second week sales of For Honor which had a hefty 72% drop in sales.

Halo Wars sold 65,000 units in its first week.

I read an article saying it was significantly down on the first.

Lemme try to find it.

Nope, was that the first did significantly better than 2.

But that was never going to happen. HW was during the peak of halo and when the 360 was dominating. It's probably in the 20 to 30k range. But that's also assuming For Honor was near 100k

Not too surprising considering Halo is far less popular and successful than it was a decade or eight years ago.
