We are on a site dedicated to sales. Lol. Of course the championships are determined by sales. But Nintendo makes the most money too, which i knew all along as well

Discussing sales and cheerleading sales are not equivalent.  And no, sales are and always will be a terrible metric.  

But the competition has been and always will be about sales. Thats just how it is. Weve been over this once already.

They are all tied at ZERO for "championships" because it doesn't fucking exist. It's idiotic thinking. Yes some consoles sold the best in a generation but guess what award they were given? Nothing. Because this isn't a sport. Esp not one where Links hat is cumming.

It's the uncontested winner of the 8.5 Gen 😎

Glad to see the topic of "Switch, 8th Gen or 9th Gen ?" coming back in force !

Just another way of asking the same question. Is it 8th or 9th gen. I've changed my mind on this too many times that it hurts my head now to think about it.

Honestly, i go back and forth with it myself. Its hard to say. I think by the time the lifespan of ps5, xsx, and switch 2 all end, it will be a bit more clear
