The Nintendo list doesn't include all games either. Adding all the smaller games on both sides won't change the results in a significant way.

Lol you now that table is not updated and is filled with incomplete data. You are playind dumb because it interests you now.

Bloodborne and Detroit Become Human have not sold just 4'0M combined. Killzone Shadow Fall did not sell just 2'1M. GT Sport has not sold just 3'3M, etc

You know perfectly that Spiderman just sold 9M just before December and the game sold huge in Europe in December when sales are more important than in November.

This was never a PS4 vs Switch. It's Sony vs Nintendo in the home console territory, so forgetting TLOU ps3 sales is just convenient too.

The true list was brought by me in this thread earlier:

TLOU has sold 20M, Uncharted 4 has sold 16M, God of War has sold 11M, Horizon probably has surpassed 11M sold too already, Spiderman has to be above those games too. Bloodborne sold more than 2M in US according to Benji so is most probably that it has sold more than 5M worldwide as of today. Ratchet and clank 2016 was according to Insomniac, their best selling game before Spiderman launched, so that needs to be another 5-6M more. QD stated Detroit was about to sell 3M in January 2019. GT Sport was announced months ago that it has more than 7M players by PD themselves, so more than 5-6M is a possibility (and historically GT legs, except GT6 are looooong, the game will keep selling for years).... and Days Gone was just announced today that it is the 7th best Sony selling game in the month of launch in NPD history, despite being only 9 days on sale, compared to the rest that had 16 or more days of sales, so most probably in the first month must have sold 3M worldwide at least and soon will have 5M sold too, ....etc.

Uncharted 4, God of War, Spiderman, The Last of Us Part II has as many chances to reach 20M lifetime as any other Nintendo game.

You saying Nintendo games have better legs is a lie. Pokemon and Smash games historically didn't have good legs, at least not as good as 2D Mario or Mario Kart games. They're indeed way more frontloaded than franchises like Gran Turismo, Uncharted or The Last of Us have proved. 

You say Sony doesn't have any 20M games since PS4 era started (it has one, TLOU, again), but Nintendo only has one too, MK8. Nintendo having more games to launch on Switch than can sell 10M or more than PS4 is irrelevant (and yet to see) because again, THIS WAS NEVER A PS4 VS SWITCH COMPARISON. Once GOW 2, HZD 2, Spiderman 2 launch on PS5 the comparison with Nintendo will still exist, even if it's against Switch, and believe me, those games are going to sell a lot.

My post contained a very visible note that not all of Sony's games on the list have to up to date numbers. It's not me who's playing dumb here.

The OP himself confirmed that PS4 vs. Switch is eligible. This thread is turning into one where Sony fans are fighting against the inevitable. If this thread gets updated every year, it will show what I've said multiple times: The difference between PS4 and Switch will grow in the favor of Switch and in the end it won't even be a close comparison. Hence why the claim "entered Ninty level" will not hold up.

Oh i readed that note, and yet you made a conclusion comparing numbers based on that flawed logic.

Fightning against the "inevitable"....lol, like when Switch was going to sell 20M or more last year??, outselling PS4??, that same "inevitability"???. PS4 vs Switch may be "eligible", but that's not all about it. It's only a restricted way of think that you puposedly decided to choose to benefit your interests. The OP never stated that, the OP title is clear "SONY IS ENTERING NINTENDO LEVELS". And besides, your point about PS4 vs Switch is still undecided which will have more big sellers in the end. What in the world mades you think "in the end won't be a close comparison". Your loved Nintendo games are the only ones than can keep selling?? Such arrogance my god....

The time is against you, not in favor to you. Next year we will know Spiderman and GOW are going to be 15-20M sellers. TLOU 2 is going to be the best Sony selling game of al time. Days Gone is going to surprise people....AGAIN, when it's announced they're close to sell 10M. Ghosts of Tsushima and Death Stranding are going to be successes too. And then PS5 will come, GOW 2, HZD 2, Spiderman 2 will be announced and in the next few years the list of Sony games selling 15M or more will only grow bigger and larger. More IP's will come, because you can bet on that and they will sell a ton too. Meanwhile Nintendo will need again Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Smash,... to be good to sell good.

This "era", Sony became closer entering Nintendo levels. Next gen Sony is going to surpass Nintendo in this regard. Mark my words....
