| Amnesia said: 65% more but what was the install base of the Switch at that time ? 24 millions if I estimate it roughly. So it is a bit weaker today for Sw/Sh |
It's 65% stronger. There is no modifier for success based on smaller userbases.
Additionally, even if you did want to make a parallel comparison, parallel sales velocity is not an accurate way to appreciate sales velocity.
For example, when Breath of the Wild sold 925,000 on a userbase of 906,000 consoles, that doesn't mean that Pokemon is less successful than Breath of the Wild because if it fails to sell 103% the userbase, or ~46,000,000 during the first month. As userbase increases, the percent of userbase who will purchase a title drops. If Breath of the Wild launched today and Switch sales were the same, chances are it would be a lot higher than 925K during the first month, but it would be much closer to the 925K than to 46M.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
