Sony consoles have a ton of great games other than just first party so sales of individual titles are understandably lower. I mean look at the the number of million sellers on a Sony console vs any Nintendo console. People just have a lot more to choose from rather than just a handful of games worth playing that a Nintendo console gets so everyone has to make do with them. Anyway it's been decades since Nintendo made an IP that managed both Critical acclaim and huge blockbuster sales. they've managed one or the other a couple times, but both at the same time probably hasn't happened since the 90s. 

So now we are pulling 3rd party games into a discussion about 1st party sales figures?

You're the one derailing the conversation bud. It's about mascots and their importance. I have proven beyond a shadow of doubt why Sony has no need for them and MS/Nintendo are completely reliant on them and would go bankrupt if these few IPs were taken away from them as they simply lack the talent to create anything on the same level as what they did in the past. The attach rate of Sony's games vs. Nintendo's games has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Sony consoles sell more, have bigger libraries and a more diverse audience, all factors which lead to less attach rates for any individual game. Nintendo consoles have small install bases and very few worthwhile games to choose from and most buy the consoles for those few titles.
