Siri sucks in french. Many of the queries available in english are not there. Query responses are also slower in french especially on a slow connection. The local support is poor in Europe: if you asked for a nice restaurant, it says "sorry this service is not available in Belgium"

Siri is not even available for many european languages. It's not surprising the 4S sells better in english speaking countries.
