It’s also nice that PS4’s userbase is up 4:1 on Switch.

Wii U total sales:  ~14 million

Retail sales:
Mario Kart 8:  7.7M
New Super Mario Bros U: 5.6M
Super Smash Bros. U: 5.1M
Splatoon: 4.7M

Switch total sales: ~20M

Retail Sales:
Mario Odyssey: 10M
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: 9.2M
Breath of the Wild: 7.8M
Spatoon 2: 6M

Using the userbase as an excuse why games aren't selling as well on a Nintendo platform as they would on others is complete nonsense. Nintendo has continuously demonstrated that you don't need a huge userbase to have huge sales.

It's not excuse it totally valid and logical point, how much those games will sell when Switch has install base for 40-50m, or 80m like PS4? Comparing sales of games on one platform that has 4x bigger install base than other currently, dont make sense, in that case attach rate makes much more sense.
