No it doesnt. Things change and something that may have been true in the 80s or 90s may no longer apply in the 00s or 10s.

On top of that just looking at the top 40 of all systems combined is not going to tell the whole story because it leaves out multiple systems. SNES, N64, GC, GBA & Wii U combined have 1 game on that list.

Another this is that the top 40 bottoms out at 18 million, that is such a ridiculous high threshold for big games.

Looking at it on a yearly basis, by decade or by system are much better ways than just lumping together the top 40 spanning 35 years of nearly a dozen devices together.

And things changed from the 00s or 10s to today as well. Do a comparison by the biggest 20 of Switch if you like. But putting everything together that Nintendo launched to say it doesn't put big software in the first half won't cut it.

I never once said they dont put out big games in the first half, obviously they do, I was saying their 2nd half lineup is typically stronger.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

That much I no one can really disagree (even looking at the top40 ever there are still more on second half than first).

Even Sony that spreadout some big hitters along the year to avoid competing with the likes of CoD, etc, they probably also have launched more big hitters on the second half than first (I may be wrong).

3rd highest selling gaming HW or 2nd highest home console is already granted =p

3 highest selling home consoles are playstations.

Sad they won't re-release ps3 so we can all buy it again until it beats Wii :P



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

There were three ravens sat on a tree / They were as blacke as they might be / The one of them said to his mate, Where shall we our breakfast take?

They should make 15M commemorative copies and sell for 1USD to orphanages around the world and save on taxes, sthat way we have bragging rights =p
