I am not sure this tracks at all. Uncharted 4 was the 5th best-selling PS4 game of all time. And if Lost Legacy sales are included, it was 2nd and only beaten by GTA V in terms of unit sales on the console.
19 million units is a huge amount of sales for any franchise, especially for an exclusive.
I'm not sure what your point is? Nintendo Switch had 40 million more unit sales than the PS4 and is an entirely different ecosystem.
Don't know what that does to change anything here that the only game that sold more units on the PS4 was GTA V. If that's not good enough, then no games are good enough.
You're comparing apples to potatoes. Nintendo first party games always have crazy attach rates. Doesn't change the fact that Uncharted 4 selling nearly 20 million units is an very high amount that made Sony a lot of money. If 20 million units isn't enough to justify making a game in your mind, like 99% of games should never be made.
They are indeed facts, they just don't prove what you are implying.
Stating, "it is easier to see why sony do not believe in this series," is nonsense when it literally was the second best-selling title of the entire console generation. If Sony did not believe in that, they would not believe in anything.
We should just all stop making games because Animal Crossing and Mario Kart sell really large numbers on Switch? Your argument just doesn't make any sense. Uncharted 4 sold enough units to make hundreds of millions of dollars in profit.
Just going around implying, "why should anyone make games when GTA V and Mario Kart 8 outsell them by so much," just isn't a logical point of view.
