1st bold: Pokemon + BoTW 2 + Splatoon 3 definitely sell more.

2nd bold: at launch only, Nintendo games still sell millions after 4 years at full $60, while Sony games will drop the price after 6-12 months. Revenue, Sony always > Nintendo, but profit, Nintendo always > Sony. Even in ps2/GameCube era, Nintendo profit was bigger than Sony.

Pokemon + BoTW2 + Splatoon 3 selling more than GoWR + HFW + GT7 isn't "definite" at all especially with Splatoon 3 having the least pull.

If you want to bring up overall revenue/profit for their games, don't forget Sony leverages first party software through PS+ & PS Now, PC releases, adapting their IP via Playstation Productions (which is also sold to Disney/Netflix for their subscription services), have a ton of multiplayer games in development, higher game prices + growing digital sales. Whatever Sony made in the PS2/PS4 era will be dwarfed by PS5 profits because of these factors. Nintendo making more money than Playstation isn't guaranteed at all in this decade.

Bold: Splatoon 1 sold over 5mil, Splatoon 2 sold over 10mil, Splatoon 3 can sold over 15mil. That least pull costs a lot less to make than many Sony games while selling way more, that's funny.

Bold 2:

-higher game prices for 6-12 months only then drop very fast, Nintendo games will almost always be $60 for entire the generation.

-Sony games cost a lot more to make compared to Nintendo games.

-Sony has growing digital sales, but Nintendo has both growing physical sales + digital sales, BoTW can sell 30mil LT, no Zelda game before can come close to that, many Nintendo series sold a lot more compared to their previous gen.
