the software sales are really something

Compaired to what?
"Last Quarter the PS4 sold 40.6 million units of PS4 software"

Nintendo Switch has been around like 16 months now, and its sitting at ~87m.
PS4 in 3months did half the total of the Switch? unless Im misunderstanding something here.

Switch is selling software, but not at a insane rate.
Hell even if you take  86,93m Software sales and divide that by the users 18.3m thats about 4.75 games pr switch owner.
And alot of these are small budget indie & A/AA type games.

Download only software is not included in Switch's software numbers so a lot of indies and etc games aren't even included in that and not mention the difference in the size of the install base and maturity of the platforms.
