So the console that has been around for longer and has more units out there in absolute numbers has more games with more than absolute number threshold copies sold than any other console? Is that really surprising?
What about games sold normalized per month and per unit? And how about excluding potentially included titles? And how do you count F2P games that aren’t technically sold?
I am not necessarily saying the Switch isn’t successful, just that these ways of measuring it are strange.
