Not sure if you saw Rol point it out but Nintendo has actually sold more hardware than Sony has since Sony has entered the hardware market.

As of March 1995 (a few months after PS1 launched in Japan), Nintendo had shipped roughly 140 million units of hardware between NES, SNES & Gameboy. Now the gap is 200 million in favor of Nintendo meaning that Sony has not closed the gap at all.

Also not sure if you realize this but Sony is also set to start selling one type of console (they said they dont see a future for a Vita successor).

Two product lines favored Nintendo, 1 versus 1 favors Sony. 

Per system Sony has a higher average than Nintendo does, Sony simply doesn't make as much hardware. 

It doesn't really seem like to me Nintendo/MS are able to do much of anything to keep a Playstation home console (main line) from selling 80-100+ million. Sony is a beast when it comes to the home market, they have owned it more or less since 1995 onwards. 

Sure, if we change goalposts three times and cherry pick the data we want to look at it favors Sony.

Seriously guys, is it really that hard to just look at data and analyze it objectively?

First it was Playstation is closing the gap against Nintendo.

Once that was disproven the argument changed to excluding handhelds for no apparent reason along with comparing average sales per system.
