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.

Is this post meant to be a joke?  You are projecting lifetime sales, but you don't think Mario Kart is going to sell anymore?  Meanwhile TLOU2 is going to sell more than any game Sony ever made at 25m-30m?  LOL, WTF?  I mean TLOU is in the 10-15m range if you are counting PS4 only.  Or are you combining platforms?  In that case Mario Kart 8 is already above 30m and still selling.  There is basically no consistency to any of this and some of the numbers are made up from games not even released yet.

Lifetime projections look more like this, single platform.

Nintendo

40M+: Mario Kart, AC
20-30M: SSB, Zelda 
10-20M: MO, Pokemon, Pokemon Let's Go, Splatoon, SMP
5-10M: LM3, SMM, 2D Zelda
<5M: FE, Kirby, Xenoblade, etc

Sony

40M+: 
20-30M: 
10-20M: Spiderman, GOW, UC4, TLOU, Horizon
5-10M: GT, DG, Bloodborne, Ratchet 
<5M: Gravity Rush, Team ICO, LBP, Infamous, Death Stranding etc

MS

40M+ :
20-30M:  
10-20M: Halo
5-10M: Forza Horizon, Gears
<5M: Forza Motorsport, SoT, SoD, Crackdown etc

It's true that Sony's first party output is a lot better than Microsoft's, but it doesn't hold a candle to Nintendo's first party games.  Going by sales numbers Nintendo > Sony > Microsoft.  Going by critical reception, yeah I can see how people can come to a different conclusion though.
