I wouldn't call Spiderman a first party game. They don't own the IP nor the studio who developed the game in question. 

And yes, great leap and very good sales for Sony this gen, but not quite Nintendo level. 

Spiderman is a full PS4 exclusive because the colaboration was between Marvel and Sony, and the latter then chose Insomniac to delevop the game. So yeah, it's not 1st party, but it's still an exclusive.

And why Sony with Gran Turismo, Uncharted, The Last of Us, Horizon, God of War, Spiderman, is not quite at Nintendo level???. We are not discusing historic sales or how things were 10 o 20 years ago, we are talking right now. Those games are 10m+ sellers or are going to be soon and Ghosts of Tsushima, Days Gone and even Death Stranding could probably be close to those numbers too. How many  10m+ sellers does Nintendo have??, Super Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart, Smash Bros and Pokemon, and after those, a level below, maybe Mario Party and Animal Crossing. I'm not saying Sony surpassed Nintendo, but it's very very close right now, so to me, it's a valid comparison. 

You're making the assumption that these games are already gonna be 10+ million sellers?

Wish we could have said the same for Knack, The Order 1886, and Gravity Rush (a great game, but unfortunately didn't set the world on fire with its sales)...Not to discredit or malign Sony, but nothing's a guarantee. Not a lot of people thought Splatoon would be one of the most popular IPs in Japan among the likes of Pokemon and Monster Hunter.
