My "theory"? I made only 2 explicit statements, that BotW is #1 in single platform sales and that if you include remasters/remakes then it is 3rd. The first is something I think we agree on. The second is an if/then statement, you can view sales numbers in multiple ways. If I want to look at a games sales as an IP I would include both. If I wanted to look at the single sales on one console I would look at it that way as well. You're being unnecessarily restrictive by declaring it "wrong" to look at data in multiple ways. You can choose to restrict your view to one way of looking at it but I see value in looking at it from multiple angles. You can continue to declare it wrong but I'm not making any non-factual claims, just choosing to look at it from multiple angles.

You're taking it way out into orbit. Remasters/ports are counted seperately, that's the way it's always been done. It's of course your prerogative to use your own counting methods, but I dont think anyone will adhere to them but you.

If that is the culture of the site then fair enough, though I will state it's not like this is something no one ever does. I saw an article on nintendolife just a minute ago where they did the same thing. I see that sort of thing done all the time elsewhere (for example in the movie industry). But we can agree to disagree about the relevance of certain metrics.
