Not to be that guy but he did say in the last 20yrs on a Home console without pricecuts/bundles not only the Switch. Which very well MAY have multiple 15m sellers without pricecut we won't know until later on. But with Pokemon and Animal crossing I think those 2 are the ones that will potentially do it. But if either has a bundle then that will automatically throw that out the window smh.

Personally I can't see how people are not seeing Nintendo levels with everything listed especially Uncharted 4. Heck outside of the Wiisports/fit etc games and New Super Mario Bros Wii and Mario Kart Wii there were only like 2 Wii games on a 100 million plus user base that sold more than 10 million. So we can't really say "It's really to be expected on a near 100M+ base" Because that is just not the case.

I don't think ANYONE has disputed that the Switch software numbers are amazing. And the Salty comment came from some user saying that silly statement about not being at Nintendo levels because it was not done at full price which was just ridiculous. I also don't think anyone decided anything about how many 1st party 10 million plus sellers  would have just yet.

But I agree the console war talk is silly and definitely needs to stop but it is what makes things fun at the same time....a little FRIENDLY competition here and there but some folks just go over board man and it sucks smh.

True, but the Wii is always used in single case scenarios. The device was troubled, yet successful so using it as the standard doesn't hold up quite well. You can't really say "outside of these games that sold extremely well" that's kinda circumventing factual data.

I think it would help everyone to actually look at Nintendo's shipped numbers:

And while yes, like I Said PlayStation 1st party is close they just aren't quite there yet. GOW at 11M, HZD at 11M, SpiderMan at 9M, probably 10M, TLOU at 17M split between PS3 and PS4, and UC4 at 16M, it isn't as consistent as even the 3DS with UC4 being the single SKU to hit 16M+. TLOU2 at 17M is very impressive, but combine something like MK8 Wii U and MK8 Switch, it's at 25M+ between around 50-60M consoles, vs. TLOU at 17M across 170-180M consoles. Looking at software to hardware ratios, Nintendo's 1st party edges out Sony's at this time. 

And the Switch is really just about to get started with Software sales as we get into their bigger titles along with evergreen titles coupled with price drops, revisions, etc. which is why I suggested that everyone wait until Switch is where PS4 is, 6-7 years into its life to compare software. 

I don't mind friendly competition but I kinda want facts to back up claims is all. 

Well he said Home consoles which is what I honestly thought people were talking about lol. Hence the reason I brought up the Wii because it had the highest sellers for any Nin home console before the NEW MONSTER that is the Switch. If we are comparing it to the Handhelds then no it has not reached that level.

That's why i gave actual facts and info with the Home consoles lol. And yes I like when people give actual facts as well! It makes it better!
