I don't understand your logic. I am not downplaying anything. All I am saying is youre taking a month where there is one clear cut exclusive game thats old a ton and extrapolating it against other consoles. It's just not a fair comparison to make on a larger scale.

I'm thoroughly impressed with TLOU:R sales but  tooting the horn about comparing gross sales across consoles in light of a single titles dwarfing software does not provide a fair comparison.

I didn't said you were downplaying. Just that to consider a sole game tipping the balance so much that all other softwares on both concorrents and the own platform are dwarves isn't accurate.

But it is a fact that it did. One game sold so much that it inflated the sales of a single console. This can't be ignored when youre talking about comparing software sales across multiple consoles. The fact it is a single title, remaster is irrelavent to the discussion. One title vastly sold a lot of copies and is only on one console, it will skew the numbers for the month dramatically. that is all. I don't understand what is being argued here.

What is being argued is that TLOUR didn't sold by itself the same as Mk8 and all other SKU in MS and Ninty portfolio... it probably weighted for like 10% of sales, maybe 20%.. but that doesn't make all others dwarves or Sony 50% marketshare in SW irrelevant.
