We had a discussion about SW? Whats SW, Star Wars? Can you link me that discussion we had instead of randomly pulling them out of your hat.

Also if the Switch sold less, i doubt Zelda would still sell 22m units. MK8 sold 8.4m since April on the WiiU, if the WiiU sold as well as the Switch, it would have sold millions more. Not sure why you think it wouldn't. The bigger the audience, the higher the chance of selling your games. This is why the $70 price hike is stupid, because devs claim games are getting too expensive meanwhile they are selling tons more to make up for it, ontop of all the MTs, lootboxes, Season passes, paid online etc.

Sales of software.

Yes more consoles can sell more software, but to pretend there is any linearity on it, as you did on discussions of gear and halo last gen, when comparing with the likes of Uncharted, TLOU and other Sony titles crossing 10 and even 15M sold with things like MS titles were selling less than half because the userbase was half. Same as other people were pretending that MK8 (that had over 50% attach ratio) on WiiU would keep similar attach ratio if WiiU sold as well as PS4 (so it could pass 50M sold).But if you don`t think like that anymore all the better.

I honestly believe that if the WiiU sales were 90m like the Switch, i would say MK8 would have more than doubled its sale. Its a case by case basis, depending on the game, different games have different potential. This is why MS and Sony are hitting up the PC market lately because they want to increase there game sales, not all Xbox and Sony customers buy 1st party games, in fact many don't, in Nintendo's case, majority do.
