Oh I see, OP is adding up both Switch and 3DS sales cause I was like, the Switch never sold 21 million units from April 1 2017 to March 31 2018. So by fiscal year you mean the total output of a company. But by that logic shouldn't we add software sales too? And If I may push this logic further, shouldn't we add the entire output of a company? Meaning all the TV's and all the other hardware Sony sells too?

But yeah, adding 3DS sales and you got a figure that is a bit higher than the PS4 alone, congrats Nintendo.

And since we are in the topic of figures, Labo doesn't seem to be doing too well in Japan, their primary market so I'm curious to hear how Labo is doing worldwide?

No, Rol's point is that Switch + 3DS outsold PS4 + Vita, making Nintendo the market leader. You can't just add in TV's to make Sony the market leader. And usually, VGChartz doesn't factor in software when determining market share (see front page). 

But if you don't add the other stuff Sony makes you don't technically speaking have the ACTUAL fiscal year total results of the company. It seems arbitrary to me to say, let's add all the hardware Nintendo makes but not all the hardware Sony makes.

I mean, don't get me wrong, you can do that if you want but by that logic we can do any types of measurements we want. But the title is about the fiscal years of those two companies so pitching one machine against all the machines of another company, seems a bit biased to me.

Here are my biased figures: Sony has sold 1 PS4 inside the space that is my house and Nintendo has sold zero Switches inside that same space. On the other hand I can counter that too by adding that Sony has sold zero vitas inside the space that is my house but Nintendo has sold 1 3DS inside the same space. So I am both technically CORRECT and also BIASED in my figures. Same with this thread.
