The Last of Us Part II sold through more than 4m copies during its first weekend. Lifetime sales expectations for the PS4 version alone?

Compared to Nintendo already with 9 in 3 years... And if we combine sales New Super Mario Bros. U makes it 10

Nintendo games are still on the top selling charts every week/month even years after release, Sony games do not do that.

And I didn't say they didn't sell well, I said they didn't have legs... almost every one of those games you listed had 25% of their sales in the first few weeks, that's not good legs and the TLOU has roughly 10m on the PS4

So you are a big nNntendo fan......makes sense.

Well seeing as Nintendo is more of a 1st party console one would expect a majority of their games to remain in the top selling charts every week/month. But that is just my opinion. Because I definitely don't have a single 3rd party game on my Switch currently.

Also so all Nintendo games that had a great first week and are 10mil or less have bad legs? Or any company for that matter? Just trying to be clear here for myself for future knowledge.

Yeah, I would view it that way about legs but it is a "subjective" topic overall.  If you fall off of best selling charts within a couple weeks/months after release that can't be a good thing for overall sales (even more so when you take into count the amount that these games get discounted and bundled) and making money.

I'm a Nintendo fan, but you provided some data and I provided data on what I think presents a better idea of what "legs" look like.

Doesn't really make sense to expect Nintendo 1st party console games to consistently do well and not expect Sony titles to do the same with how much people like to say that the PS4 is successful because of their 1st party games...
