Splatoon 2 has sold nearly as much as God of War PS4 and Horizon Zero Dawn individually

Yes, Nintendo first party is still much stronger than PlayStation, especially when revenue is taken into account. Yet the improvement PlayStation has made this generation is remarkable, possibly unrivaled.

I can't be bothered going through every title so let's just look at the highest:

PS3:
Gran Tursimo 5 - 11.95m
Uncharted 3 - 9.3m
The Last of Us - 8.15m
Uncharted 2 - 6.74m
LittleBigPlanet - 5.85m

Top 5 Average: 8.39m

PS4:
Uncharted 4 - 16.25m
Spiderman - 12-14m (Estimate, last confirmed is 9m as of November 25th 2018 just it's first 7 weeks.)
The Last of Us Remastered - 11.78m
God of War - 11m+
Horizon Zero Dawn - 10m+

Top 5 Average: 12.4m

That shows incredible growth, especially with sales not done for these ps4 titles and TLOU 2 on the way.

A first party PlayStation game selling 10m+ was mostly unheard of, yet this generation will end with at least 6.

Unfortunatelly VGC numbers are unreliable to do a TOP 10 and TOP 50 comparison for PS4.

But on PS3 we have TOP 10 average 5.83, TOP 50 2.5 and that gives us 1 10M+, 6 5M+ and 38 Million Sellers. It isn't that bad but you can see that Sony focused more and releases less titles but each selling more and having higher score. During PS3 time we had Shu saying that from every 10 games released they would lose money on 6, break even on 2 and only the remaining 2 would really profit and cover for the other loses. They truly had to forsake profit during the whole gen to prepare for this one.
