I hope you mean " dominated in arbitrary specific game releases" because if we take all of the software sold on each of the systems Nintendo is so far behind it's not even funny.

As a studio, they absolutely did. Both commercially and critically. The downplaying is getting old. PSN cards? Really?

They aren't a studio. They are as much a conglomerate with many different studios as Sony. Yes, their individual sales of physical games are not bad. I'm not downplaying their success, I just try to give a bit of contrast here so people won't start "upplaying" it.

I was merely pointing out that those physical sales do not paint the whole picture and there is a great number of games sold on the other platforms that are not tracked, shown by the huge amount of shop cards sold.

Truth is, especially in this forum, you really need downplaying when successes are constantly overstated and unequal comparisons are brought to paint achievements greater than they actually are. Might as well call the thread "best selling physical games" since digital is conveniently ignored to make the success seem greater.
