He says Uncharted 4 outsold all Nintendo games combined last year... Erm, he might want to take a look at the sales of Pokémon Sun & Moon. 

His first sentence was "best selling home console game", so yeah, he didn't draw any comparision with Pokemon Sun and Moon, he was talking about home consoles.

And the sentence after that talks about just games. And that's like saying "if we ignore 70% of Nintendo's output Sony has the best selling first party game!". Pitiful boast. Narrowly outselling Mario Kart 8 isn't impressive either - considering that game is on a console that is a big commercial failure.

So it's not "impressive" because Sony was able to build a way more attractive and successful platform to the point there is no actual competition, so PS4 games can be dismissed because they are on this successful hardware?

Great logic, U4 is not impressive because Sony nailed what people want and Nintendo didn't...

PS4 is impressive, U4 is not. Nintendo has many franchises that sell better and only cost a fraction of the money and time that is required to develop a game like U4. Besides, isn't U4 heavily bundled anyway?

A game that sells 9M in a single system in a year isn't impressive?
And which franchises does Nintendo have that sell better than that? Literally Mario and Pokemon, where is the other many of them? Not even Mario did this time, only Pokemon.

Please... just don't.

3D Mario, 2D Mario, Mario Kart, Pokémon, Animal Crossing, Super Smash Bros., etc.

And if we look at the Wii era: Wii Sports Resort, Wii Play, Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus, New Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Actually Mario Kart 8 sold more than UC4.

Eh, last we heard, MK8 sold just over 8 million. Uncharted 4 currently sits at 8.7 million. So, it could be a toss up (given MK8's info is from October 2016).

Ok so until Nintendo gives an update on sales UC4 is the best seller.

Saying UC4 isn't impressive, are you a litle crazy?

How do you compare their games? How many platformers does MS make?

Let's compare the FPSs?

FPS from MS first party? You mean Halo...Halo....and Halo?

Nintendo has more than just platformers, at higher quality, and more variety. Is Legend of Zelda a Platformer? How about Mario Kart or Smash? Splatoon? Metroid? Xenoblade?

Face it, MS has nothing on Nintendo 1st party. They cannot even beat Sony. You must be drunk, go home.

Open world racing? Circuit racing? RTS? Open world action? Open world rpg? TPS? 

I'm home, you lost bud.
