Has someone actually documented the number of shovelware games on PS4 though?

If there's no such list, that is not evidence that shovelware isn't abundant on PS4, simply that nobody has sat down and counted it. 

Clearly there's no shortage of it.

Successful systems always get a ton of shovelware, Switch isn't at all unique in this regard.

But just as clearly, the fact that you hear nintendo fans complain about it, and actually sit down and count, how many mobile games their system has.... also says something? right?

Which you ignore by way of going "all systems has it", while ignoreing the fact that the Switch obviously as much more of it (hence the fan backlash and people makeing lists counting the amount of mobile games their system has gotten).


To be fair, I did try and google information about amounts of shovelware, on PS4, and about mobile games on PS4.
You know what I found? nothing.  Obviously this doesnt mean the PS4 doesnt have some amount of shovelware, or perphaps mobile games.
However the vast majority dont care, likely because its a tiny amount.

The same obviously isnt true for the Switch.

We cannot conclude that the Switch has more of it without quantifying the amount on PS4.

The fact that there's more coverage of it on Switch isn't proof there's significantly more (much less 10 or 100 times more as you suggested) just that more effort has been put into documenting it there.
