It could also get a price cut and/or revision.

IMO its safe bet that Switch will have both of them next year.

We will never know the real software sales of switch becaus nintendo don’t report eshop only downloads where as Sony reports everything.

We will know from Nintendo internal ship numbers of top 10 best selling games.

Let me ask you - how many first party games has Nintendo sold on the Switch and how many has Sony sold on the PS4? Exactly - you cannot answer that.

You do realise you comparing sales of software of platforms where one is released 3.5 years before second and where one has around 4x bigger install base!?

Saying that, Switch already has 3 games that have sales over 10m or near 10m with install base of 20m, how many games with around 10m sales PS4 had with install base of around 20m at all? Not single one 1st party game probably in that time didnt pass even 5m, even if take in account 3rd party probably only GTAV was near 10m.

Keep it in context to the post I was replying to. He’s the one who came in wanting to compare first party sales. Swith has fewer big games than the PS4 so it’s normal that the Switch has sales concentrate on fewer titles. Imagine if the Switch was a popular platform for third parties and the Nintendo games faced as much competition as the PS4 first parties.
