You don't get to declare whats popular. Numbers declare whats popular. The numbers show UC4 was a lot more popular as GOTY so you're once again wrong.

Oh and you are also showing how US centric you are. Gaming is a worldwide industry. US =/ the World

You basically proved my point. 

The entire point went over your head. Awards and reviews are all subjective, you can pick and choose what you like, popularity doesnt mean better. Much like a bad sports team having more supporters than the good sports teams having less supporters. Id choose quality choices over random, unknown or smaller sites etc. 

However like i said, i could care less what game wins what but if i did id go for the more trustworthy and history proven sites not a bunch of no names.

Metacritic is more trustworthy than any single site (since its an average), so by your own logic Death Stranding is the GOTY lol

I misread, seems the estimate only includes sales.

PS revenue FY 2017 - $17.53 billion

Steam revenue estimate FY 2017 - $4.3 billion

There is little Valve can have to make up for another $13 billion though. 

Okay but PS1/2 had far more exclusives and a lot bigger exclusives from third parties. 

Your source is from 2017 and your source also states their "estimates" (Not FACT) does not include DLC, Microtransactions, In-App purchases and more or account for the possible 1-2 billion revenue growth in those years.

That is a pretty dodgy source, you will need to try again.

Every platform has exclusives... And let's be honest, no exclusives of the era can really compete with Goldeneye, Mario 64, Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Final Fantasy 7 and 8 got released on PC, arguable two of the PS1's biggest ever titles.

Titles like Suikoden 2, Driver, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, Oddworld: Abes Oddysee, Tomb Raider 2 were all on PC.
Titles like Tekken 3 were on Arcade.

So none of those were true exclusives...

PS results were from 2017 as well. MT and DLC ain't going to make up anywhere near $13 billion when game sales are only $4 billion so thats a moot point. 

PC was hardly relevant for FF at the time of PS1. Thats a poor excuse for the point I made to which you have no real rebuttal to:

PS1/2 had more and far bigger exclusives than N64/GCN.
