I see, I've stepped into an alternate reality.

You argue that Nintendo had a massive headstart over Sony and therefore the NES and SNES eras where Nintendo had very little third party support forced them to foster their own IPs. You argue that a high amount of different IPs that failed to catch on is something to be proud of.

I am not saying any of that, that is all you. My only point was that the dude was comparing apples to oranges. Like comparing diesel fuel to solar power and saying the former it's better simply because more people know about it.

Comparing apples and oranges? I don't think you know what that means. 

Comparing the popularity of Nintendo and Sony mascots is not comparing apples and oranges, no matter how unfair that comparison maybe. That saying has nothing to do with unfairness, it has to do with comparing ideas that upon close examination aren't that similar. Mascot to Mascot is a pretty direct comparison, especially when they're in the same industry.
