I said this 

 

"I think people got that idea because the switch version only accounted for about 3% of sales. Ps4 version dwarfed it making it look bad even though relatively it did alright."

 

Of course that matters. It wasn't disagreeing with you and was adding more context to the situation as to why people thought it bombed. I didn't say that they were right or that you were wrong. 

 

What I said both makes sense and matters. 

I for one appreciate that bit of context, even though I wonder what people were expecting from a platform of 3-4 million going up against a platform of 65+ milion. OF COURSE PS4 would have the better sales and be more front loaded comparative to the Switch.

Yes, 3% to 97% seems like a huge split, but hardwarewise the switch only had about 4% of the installbase of the PS4 at that point. This is also were the 'it was only the UK' thing comes in, screwing the results a little more in favor of PS4.

Well said
