Goes to show that Nintendo sell more games, while Sony sell more consoles. Sony was able to beat Nintendo's HW sales a long time ago, but it took them a while before they matched the total SW sales.

Good job Nintendo.

It's naturally going to take longer for a system to catch up and pass another in terms of software rather than hardware, the gap isn't going to close linearly.  You only buy one console (typically) but you go on to buy several pieces of software for it.  The fact that it took a little less than a year for the ps4 to pass the wii u in software sales is impressive for sony and damming for nintendo.

I'm not sure how that logic works. So people only buy duplicates on Nintendo systems?

Sounds like a case of confirmation bias.


What do you mean when you say, "So people only buy duplicates on Nintendo systems?"  Software is naturally bought in significantly higher quantities than hardware and the rate that software is bought for video games rises incrementally with each new release.  The wii u has had more time to develop its library and has an additional holiday season on the ps4, it was always going to take longer to catch up on software.

 

And you accusing anyone of confirmation bias is, well, laughable.
