Are we now supposed to pretend that Sony fans have acted civil in this thread while Nintendo fans have not? The OP made a claim, it was challenged and proved to be wrong as the top 10 lists for the PS4 and Switch have shown. If the OP didn't want comparisons with Nintendo systems like Switch, Wii or DS, the title should have been more specific. Bad intentions are debatable. While there might have been none, the second error of the title is that it talks about a leap over the PS3 era which clearly implies a PS3 vs. PS4 comparison, but the OP didn't keep it honest and combined the sales of The Last of Us for PS3 and PS4 to make the numbers more impressive than they really are. This kind of action shows that the focus of the thread was and is on a comparison between Sony and Nintendo. Given that you yourself have taken issue with the false claims of VideoGameAccountant in the past and the present, you should hold yourself to the same standard. So when facts are brought to the table in this thread and Sony's best isn't in the same league as Nintendo's best, then that should be accepted by you instead of coming up with theories about angry Nintendo fans. Lastly, if any sort of comparison between Sony and Nintendo qualified, there might have as well PS2 vs. GC been used. Suddenly the whole "entered Ninty level" achievement of the PS4 rings hollow because Sony has been there before when data is picked according to how it suits the desired conclusion. |
Wow... so many lies in just a post....impressive Rol.
The OP claim has never been proved wrong. Top 10 list for Switch and PS4 shown they're a tied in number of games selling more than 10M. OP's claim was Sony's game now can compete with Nintendo's games in sales.
The Last of Us is a game from 2013 (PS4 version from 2014). Mario Kart 8 is a game from 2014 (Switch version from 2017). Horizon Zero Dawn, Mario Odyssey and Zelda Breath of the Wild are games from 2017. Pokemon Let's Go, Super Smash Bros Ultimate, God of War and Spiderman are games from 2018. All the games listed here in this thread that has surpassed 10M from both companies have launched basically in the same period of time, so no advantages.
The ranking of sales is as it follows:
Mario Kart 8 (+ DX version) > The Last of Us (PS3+PS4) > Uncharted 4 > Super Mario Odyssey > Zelda Breath of the Wild > Super Smash Bros Ultimate > Spiderman > God of War > Horizon Zero Dawn > Pokemon let's Go.
If the comparison is PS3 era to PS4 era why in the world The Last of Us sales combined between PS3 and PS4 and are dishonest?? The Last of Us launched the same year PS4 was announced and launched. Your nitpicking is something else. You can do the same thing for MK 8 and Zelda BOTW counting WiiU sales if you want. It won't change the result....
Facts were brought to the table numerous times and Sony's best is indeed in the same league as Nintendo's best this gen (or era if we are precise to the thread title). I don't know what numbers are you seeing...Like i said, 5 home console games from both companies in the last 6 years surpassed 10M as of today, and both still have more games that can reach that milestone too.
Why are we going to use PS2 and GC numbers when the thread is explicitly saying that Sony games are "entering Nintendo levels" NOW, precisely because they weren't before.
I don't really understand Nintendo fans here and their superiority complex with anything Nintendo vs Sony. Seriously..., it was just a compliment and you are trying so hard to make it sound as it was some kind of insult when it was not... at all.
