1. Common sense is not an argument. In other words, no solid foundation and you very well could be wrong.

2. More popular is still problematic. You mean "better selling"? Because some nintendo ips sell better than ps/xb ones, some don't.

3. My bad.

4. Yes, and like I said, they have similar libraries simply because they have plenty of 3rd party support. Remove that (which NIntendo mostly doesn't have) and then you have two completely different libraries. Again, no solid foundation.

5. Why do only the best selling games matter in your comparison? The success of all these 1st and 3rd party games clearly show that ps4/xb1 owners have such a variety of tastes in games that all sorts of genres get to shine and make a profit.

1. I know, sorry. I can't find any source about this. But it seems common sense to me though, a lot of people have a Nintendo console as a second console for the  exclusives.

2. What's the difference? The more they sell, the more popular they are. And like I said in my previous post, they definitely are more popular.

3 games out of the 30 best selling PS4 games are exclusives, 7/30 exclusives for XOne, 30/30 for 3DS and 27/30 for WiiU.

4. Remove the 3rd party support for PS4 and XOne, and you have 2 consoles with very few popular games. Again, see my previous post. ^

5. Because this thread is about sales?

1. And a lot of people have a ps4 and an xb1 for the exclusives. Seriously. Ask users here. Even some of the biggest xb1 fans have a ps4 and/or a ps3. There is no proof that there are more ps4 owners with a wiiu or a switch or that that is going to change any time soon. But, anyway, at least you made it clear now that it was simply an assumption on your part.

2. There is a difference. Some games are popular but don't sell well for a number of reasons (e.g. last star fox game or last metroid game). My point is that not all of Ninty's IP are more popular/better selling than all of Sony's and/or MS's. Some are, some aren't.

4. Remove them and you still have plenty of popular games.

5. Yes, sales, but you're clearly cherry-picking. You didn't answer my question. Why only the top 30? What about all the other dozens if not hundreds of games that sell well on ps4 (and xb1) but don't make the top 30?
