By your logic Nintendo should never make Metroid, Fire Emblem, Donkey Kong, Pickmin, Paper Mario, Splatoon or any of their "mid tier" ips. They should focus only in 30M sellers games. Many Playstation IPs are Very successful and able to reach close, or surpass, the 20M line, like GoW, Last of Us or Horizon, they are all much bigger than mid tier Nintendo IPs.

Yeah and where are the Playstation mid tier games at now? Nintendo doesnt care about Sony IPs and Sony only cares about money. At least thats how it feels like in this Jim Ryan era.

Why are you moving the goalposts?

Manlytears is 100% right. Nintendo having a number of better sellers than Sony's best doesn't render Sony's output (which appeals to a rather different demographic) pointless. Nintendo, like Microsoft and Sony, moneyhats games that sell a fraction of what Sony games do. Even smaller games that barely crack a million will make a difference upon accumulation, never mind Sony's biggest.
