1) Congrats to Sony and Spider-Man. 20m is a lot for a PS4 game. I don't think they outsold GTA5 or Minecraft on the PS4, but they may have outsold the PS4 version of every other third party game. 2) Saying it is "close to Nintendo" levels is overselling it. The OP would be better off if they never compared the game to Nintendo. This thread is supposed to be about celebrating a milestone, but when you compare it to Nintendo, you are asking to get smacked down. Sales for a top tier Nintendo game is 37m. Spider-Man is no where close to this, while Switch has two games on track to eventually surpass it. On the other hand Switch has so many games on track to surpass 20m, that I wouldn't be surprised if their whole top 10 was 20m+ by the end of it's life. Just because your college team is doing the best they've ever done, that doesn't mean they are as good as a pro team. I'm glad Sony software is doing well, but you'd be better off not comparing them to Nintendo who is still clearly far better. |
Huh?

I cant believe this... lol thats some hardcore triggered fanboy acting :P
In a thread about Spiderman selling over 20m (back in august?), someone saying "close to nintendo levels" results in posts like this?
Also has any game on the Switch sold 37 million units yet?
if this post of yours was in humor, and I just missed the sarcasm, I appologies in advance. |
Mario Kart Wii has sold 37m. That is what total sales look like for a top tier Nintendo title. PS4 is near the end of it's life. Most software sales are accounted for.
Switch, on the other hand, hasn't even peaked yet. This is likely the peak year for Switch, but we haven't even had holiday sales yet for Switch's peak year. There are a lot of software sales still to come. On top of that it's top title is already at 29m, and it is 3.5 years younger than the PS4. If you want to make a comparison to Switch's current software numbers, then you should be comparing it to PS4 software levels from early 2017. I believe Uncharted 4 sold around 9m at that time. A fair comparision would be a 9m PS4 title to a 29m Switch title. Sony titles do not sell at Nintendo levels.
Again, just because your college team is doing very well, that doesn't mean it's at pro level. If you want to celebrate a PS4 game, then don't compare it to Nintendo. You are embarrasing yourself when there is no need for it.
