These are sales since Sony and Nintendo have started competing. Many seem to want to forget that the N64 and Gamecube were actually as powerful, if not more powerful than the competition. Even the NES and SNES were more powerful than other options on the market. The N64 didn't outsell the PS with better graphics. The gamecube didn't outsell the PS2 with better graphics. The PS3 didn't outsell the Wii with better graphics. It has always been about a mixture of power, gameplay, and value. Which is why it blows my mind that this narrative seemingly is coming solely from the Nintendo crowd that somehow Nintendo has been offering this somehow clearly superior gameplay option. Consumers have strongly disagreed with this narrative for decades even when Nintendo had power behind their consoles.
