OP post:

"With their latest quarterly report Nintendo has crossed the three quarter of a billion mark.

DS - 154.02 million
Game Boy - 118.69 million
Wii - 101.63 million
GBA - 81.51 million
3DS - 75.45 million
NES - 61.91 million
SNES - 49.10 million
Switch - 41.67 million
N64 - 32.93 million
GameCube - 21.74 million 
Wii U - 13.56 million  

Total: 752.21 million 

Nintendo is the best-selling video game hardware manufacturer of all time.

Here are some updated estimates on Nintendo's best-selling series.

Mario - 631.36 million
Pokemon - 290.00 million
Wii Sports - 116.31 million
The Legend of Zelda - 109.32 million
Donkey Kong - 66.55 million 
Super Smash Bros. - 56.88 million
Wii Fit - 44.66 million
Kirby - 40.62 million
Animal Crossing - 35.55 million
Brain Age - 33.89 million 

Nintendo's first party games have sold more than 1.5 billion copies."

Then ratolmc post:

"Impressive but I just cant help but compare Nintendo's numbers to the absolute monster numbers Sony's consoles have put up. (except vita lol)

PS2 about 155m
PS4 about 100m
PS1 about 100m
PS3 about 85m
PSP about 80m
PSV about 15m

That puts it at least 535 million units compared to 750 million Nintendo currently has.
What's also impressive is its only Sony's 6 consoles vs Nintendo's 11 as well as Nintendo having an 11 year head start in the gaming industry compared to Sony's playstation."

If OP showed both Nintendo hardware and software sales number here then why did ratolmc only show Sony hardware sales number? Want to compare, right? Then show both here, or he (and even you) can't do that? Again, are your reading ability and your brain are ok? Some Sony fans are more hurt by my own question it seems

That's because the OP titles is only mentioned "

Nintendo Tops 750 Million Hardware

So He only compare it using hardware. Which is why he is  very impressive with Nintendo "HARDWARE SALES "  . 

After that you are offended by his post mentioned Sony even with 6 consoles generations also achieve a great feat , then you trying to downplay Sony using strawman argument by asking software sales, which is silly because OP are discussing hardware sales but putting soft sales just as bonus. Not a primary discussion. 

If you want to be fair to counter his  argument just bring more hardware sales discussion without bringing software sales discussion. 

He said: "Well obviously Sony's 1st party software sales pales in comparison to Nintendo so no need to add them genius. However I do want to add that Sony this generation with the playstation 4 have been reaching Nintendo's first party sales (or close to) with titles such as GoW, Spiderman, UC4, LoU, and Horizon. Obviously these IPs wont reach Mario and Pokemon sales status and may never will but guess what? They dont need to. Nintendo needs to live off their first party titles due to their lack of 3rd party titles while Sony has a strong mixture of BOTH 1st and 3rd party titles. You take away Nintendo's 1st party title, they'd be left with nothing! You take away Sony's 1st party titles, sony's console will still have Call of Duty, GTA, Elder Scrolls, Fifa, 2K, Fallout, etc. And these titles sells in the 20million+ which Nintendo misses out on which is why nintendo gamers are left with no choice but to purchase mario, zelda, pokemon etc. However I do understand the switch has been gaining 3rd party support recently though not at the level of Sony and Micro but that will definetely change as next gen arrives next year with Cyberpunk, GTA6, Elder Scrolls 6 releasing next gen. Im sure if we were to tally up overall software sales Sony would come out top. Its important to remember games like CoD, Fifa, 2k which releases every year about 20 million each and GTA V which has sold more than 100 million, Sony gets a piece of that money due to platform royalties. Nintendo will never get a piece of that money because they dont have Cod and GTA although they do have Fifa and 2k but they dont sell well on Nintendo platforms. So anyway my point is Nintendo's 1st party sells well because they typically have no competition with 3rd party because well theres barely any 3rd party titles on Nintendo consoles lol."
He clearly did read the op post and decided not to put Sony software number here since it would make Sony look very bad in comparison with Nintendo. He also didn't say that he replied back to just the thread title like you mentioned, then why did you try to stand up for him in the 1st place? Well, i think everyone here already knew the answer.

Why do you even engage a conversation with HoangNhatAnh?

Don't you see that's exactly what he wants? He breathes negativity.

If only some Sony fans didn't even come here just to play down Nintendo achievement, then i would't have to do it.
"He breathes negativity" Sure, only me did it in a thread about Nintendo hardware sales. You should tell that to Sony fans too
