@ Quinton, et al.

Can we please stop this pedantic line of inquiry and get back to the topic at hand?

I believe I was stating that it's unfair for people to count multiplats against a console that is not getting those same multiplats. Its like comparing PC games sales to the consoles. The PC will obviously have more multiplat games that have not and probably never will grace the PS4, but counting them anyway. The best way, I believe, would be to compare total sales of exclusive titles for each system.

This is similar to when people celebrated the PS4 outselling the 3DS for one single month. I just don't see the significance in celebrating something so miniscule.

pc software doesn't give royalties console software sales do, what more do you want to break that down with digital and physical? Also would you count all software or just games? Do games bundled with Opperating systems count? Do the operating systems count? Would Office count as just one or many for all the programs? Also wouldn’t you break down PC sales by “generation” for years? For operating systems? Or just all PC software all time? Do sales on Macs count too?

If you are only comparing between 2 systems wouldn't all games that are on one and not the other be exclusive? Why shouldn’t the millions of sales of Destiny at full price count, when the millions of sales of bundled  Mario games do?

There are many ways to compare systems and how they sell. Trying to put limits on it “to be fair” come across as trying to make a preferred console look better. Is it fair to count games bundled? Games that never cost $60 games with special editions that cost more?

I'm not exactly sure what you're getting at.

I mean, if a system is getting more games than another, then its only natural its total sales would be higher. That's the point I'm getting at here.
