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.

Who said anything about the majority of Sony games? Do you think Splatoon 3 has more pull than GT7, HFW or GoWR? Simple question. If not, Sony would have the strongest 2022 based on the sales strength of their first party software. The amount of profit Sony/Nintendo make has no value to this question, due to the variables that make up revenue/profit (IE. Nintendo selling full priced software might be the driving factor in their profitability but its not the only factor) & the fact that we're still in the infancy of the current generation to determine such trends.

While Playstation first party games cost a lot to produce, they also have more avenues to make up money (IE. PS Now/Plus/PC) & Playstation IP's are being adapted to other mediums. Imagine, a property like TLOU generating billions in revenue through gaming, television or even mobile, Sony is one of the few companies that can expand an IP like this. Sony has a lot more competition on their platform making price drops necessary. Even a massive franchise like GTA can't remain at full price for a whole generation. However, you still get premium quality, tons of variety & flexible software pricing, making the Playstation walled garden a lot more enticing than the Nintendo walled garden. But hey, you like paying full price for a game that released three years ago, then flex! 

So you think BoTW & Splatoon can grow but GoW & HZD will remain stagnant? For all we know, GoWR can reach 30+ Million lifetime, while HFW reaches 25+ Million lifetime. What makes you think SIE IP will stop growing this generation? Also, Nintendo digital sales aren't growing at the rate that Playstation digital sales are, and their subscription services are still a generation behind.

Bold 1: Splatoon 2 sold over 10 mil, Splatoon 3 can sell over 15 mil, that's more than GT7 for sure.

Bold 2: Sony games are selling bigger, but so are Nintendo games.

Bold 3: Nintendo also did the same, thank you for reminding me.

Bold 4: more like the value of Nintendo games are in a different league compared to Sony games. 

Bold 5: the same as bold 2. 

GoWR can reach 30+ Million lifetime, Mario Kart 8 on Switch already passed that number long ago. 

HFW reaches 25+ Million, BoTW1's leg will pass that easily, and BoTW2 can even sell 30-35mil LT.

Bold 6: Digital sales, sure. Physical sales, Nintendo is growing at a much higher rate than Sony.

Bold 7: Quite irrelevant to the sales of Nintendo games.
