You’re spot on. Also a general lack of consistency between what counts as a big release between Switch & Switch 2.
I’ve seen people say updated ports of games like Animal Crossing or Mario Wonder don’t count as major releases despite the best selling Switch game being an updated port.
I’ve seen people say cross-gen titles like Pokemon Legends & Metroid Prime didn’t count as big holiday titles despite the big launch title for Switch being a cross-gen title.
I’ve seen people say games like Mario Tennis & Yoshi don’t count because they are B/C tier then turn around and count games like Fire Emblem & Xenoblade which sell similar numbers.
I’ve seen people say remakes of Star Fox & Ocarina of Time don’t count as big releases despite Pokemon Let’s Go, Pokemon D/P, Link’s Awakening, Mario RPG, etc selling on par with new releases.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
