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

 

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

 

 

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.

Fact that we are able to compare sales of 1st party games with two platforms where one was released 3.5 years earlier and has 4x bigger install base tell us just how much Switch 1st party games are selling better than Sony 1st party games, so yeah, fact is that 1st party games are selling better on Switch. Its not point only about number of games, 3rd party games are generaly much more popular on PS4 than 1st party games, in top 10 best selling PS4 games you have only one 1st party game. Also 3rd party games generaly are selling good on Switch even if 1st party games are selling better.
