Really? I mean Sonic being more at home on a Nintendo system is no surprise, but I thought the far larger install base of PS4 would even things out, and that PS4 and Switch would sell about the same.

I would, yes. Some graphical compromises had to be made to get it up and running on a mobile chipset, but the core excellence of the game shines through and it's still great fun.

nah the core fanbase is on Nintendo consoles and they buy Sonic games no matter if they are bad or good. Since Sonic Forces is considered to be pretty bad, I had no doubt that it would sell more on Switch.
However, if the game was better, things could've turned out different.

I just figured there being 22 million PS4s in the US versus 3 million Switches would go some way towards balancing out the fact that Sonic's more at home on Nintendo, such as seems to have happened in Europe.
