The figures weren't wrong, they were literally reported by a personnel of Sony. It's just the figures were about 3 months off.
"You also seem to misunderstand that software sales growth are a non-linear trend. The function x^1.5 and x^1.6 may stay close at the beginning, but grows in difference as x gets larger."
That's not true, and a bad assumption to make. Nothing in my original comment implies I think software sales are a linear trend. I was simply comparing two specific points in two different consoles, relative to their lifespan, so of course the comparison was linear. But I never commented on the trend being linear, in fact if I thought the trend was linear, why would I imply in my own comment that I think Playstation 4 will outsell Switch's software total ("Now, I don't think anyone expects the Switch's software total to be as good as Playstation 4's")? By a pretty large amount of software, might I add.
Regardless, THANK YOU for correcting me on some things. I wasn't entirely sure with the comparison I made and now you've informed me of the correct data. Still, though, I think my original point stands that making a blank comparison between Switch's current software total and the software total PS4 has right now is disingenuous and lacks a lot of context (I put context into my reply, was just a little off in the dates). But you did a very good job of providing a lot of context in this post, so live and let live.
