When i compare Nintendo and Sony games in my mind i'm doing it with these conditions:
- Games that are currently or have potential to be 10m+ sellers
- The game could be from years ago and from a previous platform but it has a version in a current platform that sold similarly or better than in the previous one, so they combine sales (Mario Kart 8 or TLOU as examples)
- I will put the lifetime sales i think the game will reach, but is just an aproximation, nothing really specific.
- If any game gets seriously bundled, inmediately this projection doesn't work.
- The game has to be already announced at least.
That said, with these conditions the games that i think for each company are:
NINTENDO:
Mario Kart 8 25m
Mario Odyssey 20m
BOTW 15m
Pokemon Let's Go 10m
Pokemon 2019 20m
Smash Bros Ultimate 20m
Splatoon 2 10m
-----------------------------------
TOTAL 120m
(I've put my most optimtistic predictions for each game)
SONY:
The Last of Us 20m
Uncharted 4 15m
Horizon Zero Dawn 10m
Gran Turismo Sport 10m
God of War (2018) 15m
Spiderman 15m
Ghosts of Tsushima 10m
The Last of Us Part II 15m
------------------------------------
TOTAL 110m
As everyone can see, the total sales of those specific games in my own arbitrary rules are very close for each company. That's why i think Sony is entering "Nintendo levels". All of those Nintendo games could explode and sell even more or Nintendo announce some new big game suddenly to add to that list, and some Sony games disappoint and be less. Everything i say about both companies is just my opinion, but i thought this was the best way to express what i was trying to explain to people in this thread. If i forgot a game from each one or i'm being completely under/overvaluing a game i'm open to accept other opinions.
PD: Sorry in advance fot the long post
