The sales segment is pointless imo. Nintendo provides quarter by quarter sales info on all their software. MS has stopped giving numbers eversince XB1 massively declined. Sony only gives numbers whenever they feel like.

I think its best to look at ranges, bare in mind a fair amount of this is predicting LTD:

Nintendo

25-30M : Mario Kart, AC
20-25M: SSB, Zelda, MO, Pokemon
15-20M:
10-15M: Pokemon third entry, Splatoon, SMP
5-10M: LM3, SMM, 2D Zelda
<5M: FE, Kirby, Xenoblade, etc

Sony

25-30M : TLOU II (?)
20-25M: Spiderman
15-20M: GOW, UC4
10-15M: Horizon, GoT (?)
5-10M: GT, DG, Bloodborne, Ratchet, Death Stranding (?)
<5M: Gravity Rush, Team ICO, LBP, Infamous etc

MS

25-30M :
20-25M:
15-20M:
10-15M:
5-10M: Forza Horizon, Halo
<5M: Forza Motorsport, Gears, SoT, SoD, Crackdown etc

The metacritic score tracker is great. Really shows how Sony and Intendo have excelled in first party games while MS is virtually lost.

Sony also gives updates to most of their noteworthy releases. Sure it isn't as often and transparent as Nintendo. But even like that Nintendo is a little troubling to look for data. Their wiki for what are the studios and them their releases per studio is less organized than Sony and MS, plus on the sales most of the not blockbuster on google only showed the percentage of shipment sold in japan on first week but not total sales. So to update their numbers I would probably need to go to all their financial data scooping for info =[. But yes MS is even harder to get proper data, the best we can get is their comments on number of users due to GP. Also not to forget that we are basically comparing MS and Sony 1 system against Nintendo 3 system mostly.
