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.

(1) How do you know GT7 won't sell over 15+ Million? Splatoon 3 selling over 15+ Million is far from a guarantee. 

(2) Both brands are continuing to grow, that's my point, but Sony is a lot more capable of creating new IP's that go on to become massive hits. Sequels to GOT & HZD are primed to sell over 20+ Million while Nintendo heavy hitters are IP's that had decades to grow. 

(3) Sony is on another level when it comes to expanding IP. Nintendo has very few movie/film adaptation of their IP's & its usually Pokemon. Sony already started a bidding war between Netflix/Disney for the rights to stream their upcoming movie adaptations for their games. 

(4) More like tougher competition on the Playstation platform. GTAV has likely outsold MK8, while titles like RDR2, COD, FIFA contend with the rest of Nintendo's first party sales wise, and that's before getting into the 10+ Million sellers or SIE IP like HZD, GOW, TLOU, Uncharted, etc. The true value of Nintendo is their ingenuity, as we can see with the Switch hybrid & the novelty of the Wii, their software is a beneficiary of it. 

(5) GOWR can match whatever BOTW2 sells. HFW & Pokemon will be neck and neck. MK8 isn't a 2022 title, and quite frankly a more apt comparison would be SM2, which will be one of the biggest games on the PS5 (up there with the juggernaut that will be GTA6).

(6) I'm sure Nintendo would rather have the majority of their consumers adapt to digital purchases for increased revenue & profit. Physical sales are slowly becoming a small slice of the pie for Sony & even Microsoft. 

(7) Similar to selling hardware, people will subscribe to PS Now for IP's like Spiderman 2 + GOWR, which is another factor to strength of IP. 

1. How do you know Splatoon 3 won't sell over 15+ Million?  GT7 selling over 15+ Million isn't a guarantee either.

2. Bold: Not Splatoon or Ring Fit Adventure.

3. Did you watch the last direct? Mario movie with Hollywood voice acters are coming next year.

4. We are comparing Sony games and Nintendo games, why do you even bring 3rd party games here?

5. Really? Based on what???

6. Bold: it's opposite to Nintendo, physical sales are becoing bigger and bigger for Nintendo games while their digital sales are also slowly growing. 

7. Then i guess Pokemon Go + Fire Emblem Heroes business are the same things since they helped strengthen Nintendo IPs.
