Not sure if you saw Rol point it out but Nintendo has actually sold more hardware than Sony has since Sony has entered the hardware market.

As of March 1995 (a few months after PS1 launched in Japan), Nintendo had shipped roughly 140 million units of hardware between NES, SNES & Gameboy. Now the gap is 200 million in favor of Nintendo meaning that Sony has not closed the gap at all.

Also not sure if you realize this but Sony is also set to start selling one type of console (they said they dont see a future for a Vita successor).

From that precise point yes, but Sony ended up selling more from the late 90s on at least I believe or at least since 2013

Well you can switch the precise point to 2000 or 2005 or 2008 or 2011 and it still remains in Nintendo's favor. Its only been since 2014 that Sony has started outselling Nintendo on a yearly basis.

So yes, if we are only looking at the last 3 years rather than the last 8 or 12 or 15 or 20 than the gap has been closing.
