That's what i meant. Your "doing well" is not the same as my "doing well". When we low the bar with Switch because reasons..., and don't put Switch at the same level as its competition, we are not being honest and fair. Just Destiny in 2014 probably sold more units than all the other 3rd party games combined on Switch in 2018, and then you have to count the Watch Dogs, the Evil Withins, the Middle Earths, the Assassin's Creeds, the CODS, the FIFAs.....

I put Switch at the same level, so it's you who isn't honest and fair at the moment.

For example, if a game has a development and marketing budget of $10m, then the sales expectations should be the same regardless of console. What you are doing is compare PS4 games with a budget of $200m to Switch games with $10m.

You insist that Switch should have third party games that sell 1m+ copies in Japan alone and that at a time when no game that can reach that threshold has been released yet.

Nah, you are being subjective. Why should i consider a game costing 1M and generating 10M in sales more succesful than a game costing 10M and generating 50M???, one has 9M profit and the other has 40M. To earn mony you have to spend it first. Don't compare relative success to absolute success.  The only way to reach those levels of profits is spending a lot.

And i'm not asking 1M+ in Japan, but at least some game that reach 200k, 300k, 500k.
