Unless you're a joke account, I have no idea of why would you incur into these fallacies:

People put their money towards the best games.

People put money on what they know (advertisements and marketing campaigns ring you a bell?) and what they think they will like (first they pay, then they play). Also, different products sell to different audiences. What a 5-year-old kid likes (probably Nintendo kindergarten games) is different from what I like (trully deep games with complex gameplay and structure). And what an inexperienced gamer may value (basic and repetitive experiences) is different than what makes me amazed with a game (simulation experiences and unique contexts/environments).

If you don't believe me and you're still convinced that sales are a great quality indicator, then look at how mobile games crush Nintendo games and paltry mobile apps crush them even more. Look at how pop music easily becomes the best music genre and reality shows become far better than most of great movies, as well as Twilight and 50 Shades of Grey become the best books of recent years. For you this is very obvious...but not for me.

 Nintendo software > Third party software
Third party software > Sony software
Third party software > Microsoft software

Third party software has many different meanings and you're playing with them. The average Sony/Microsoft game sells more than the average 3rd party game and that would lead to a very different conclusion. Naturally, Sony/Microsoft produce less games than the rest of the entire gaming industry and so you conveniently pick the totals to make an unfair statement that will do nothing but please your ego.

Furthermore, you certainly don't consider all 3rd party software (only 3rd party titles on Nintendo consoles, which is miserable) when comparing it to Nintendo 1st party games, otherwise Nintendo woul lose hard. But then in Sony's and Microsoft's comparisons you use their 3rd party titles, which is a totally different thing (and they sell much better than Nintendo 3rd party games btw). Thus, you're calling "X" to something and "X" to a different thing. Then you replace one X by the other as if it was pure logic and voilà, you get a false conclusion to put in the title of this thread.
