No it doesnt. Things change and something that may have been true in the 80s or 90s may no longer apply in the 00s or 10s. On top of that just looking at the top 40 of all systems combined is not going to tell the whole story because it leaves out multiple systems. SNES, N64, GC, GBA & Wii U combined have 1 game on that list. Another this is that the top 40 bottoms out at 18 million, that is such a ridiculous high threshold for big games. Looking at it on a yearly basis, by decade or by system are much better ways than just lumping together the top 40 spanning 35 years of nearly a dozen devices together. |
And things changed from the 00s or 10s to today as well. Do a comparison by the biggest 20 of Switch if you like. But putting everything together that Nintendo launched to say it doesn't put big software in the first half won't cut it.
