Sure list flops, yearly releases, remaster, etc as big games and system sellers all together... make so much sense.

Barely any of those games are flops, a franchise being yearly doesnt matter when we are talking about a consoles first year and many remasters are huge sellers.

If these games werent system sellers than why the did PS4 sell 18.5 million in ~13 months?

The amount of rediculous shit people will come up with to make it seem like PS4 is at this huge disadvantage against Switch is getting out of hand.

PS4 wasn't at any disadvantage. But to list those games as the reason PS4 was a success then you would have to explain X1 having those games and not being a success, which will show you that the games themselves weren't system sellers.

Don't forget the narrative that PS3 and PS4 "doesn't have games". A great part of the success of PS4 have more to do with the "greatness awaits", the confidence from customers that the system will have great games in the future, much more than now.

Sure few of those were flops, but listing all as big games and big system seller and mixing all of those make your list fall flat.
