@GirlVersusGame sorry for the late reply there. Wow you’re properly clued up on this you’re putting me to shame 😆. My only really knowledge of this stuff is from playing the games but I have found an interest outside of it via YouTube. I don’t know what’s worse though being so absorbed in trophies that I have to keep my profile to 100% completion or watching YouTube videos on this subject. There something about the physics for me 😁. But then I’ve always loved heavy machinery since I was a kid. 🥰

@Spedfrom if you mean the ui counter I think it’s the total time the game has been running isn’t it? On my days off I have to pause games back to the menus a lot to take the kids out in the afternoon etc and it’s just adding it all together I’m presuming. I had 350 hours on Rebirth on the ui but my time in game was 307 when I platted it. Haven’t touched it since and it hasn’t changed at all. I’ve noticed this myself and thought that’s what was happening

@HonestHick considering PS is consistently the highest selling console I’m not sure they do need a mascot bud 🤷‍♂️. Especially when it’s mostly adults that use them. Adults don’t tend to be interested in mascots they are more for children. Bright colours cute characters ya know. Sure fire pony here but when they give me so many great games to play it’s hardly surprising is it 👊. Nintendo can’t take risks rhey rely on the same 3/4 characters to sell their consoles it’s pretty tragic really and I do not see the appeal as a 40 year old bloke. Oh yes there’s a ton of shovelware on every platform but add PS and Xbox together and there would still be less than half of what’s on Nintendo

@HonestHick and to me mario is boring and childish mate. Death stranding is adult and unique. How many Mario games are unique these days? How many more years are they going to milk that cow lol 🥱. Done and done and done again. Another reason to play PS over Nintendo… new ips every generation 👍. When it comes to new ips Nintendo are about as adventurous as a recluse. And certainly not all games sell these numbers on Nintendo or even hold their price. Most of the eshop is complete shovelware

@HonestHick not trying to defend anything. It’s obvious that Spider-Man and horizon sell most of their copies not in bundles and obvious that mariokart does. And let’s be honest most people who buy a PS probably play COD and fifa and that’s it. Where as most people who buy a switch are buying them for kids who just buy and old games for them. Do you think most kids are saying mummy I must have mariokart I doubt it. But they get brought anyway

@HonestHick yes but how many are produced mate? Nintendo were selling Wii sports with ever console fhy sold. And nearly every Nintendo switch I see in the stores is bundled with mariokart. So potentially millions of switch sales. I doubt Sony produced anywhere near that many Spider-Man 2 bundles so I’d wager 90% of the sales were sales mate and the same for all the other games you mention.
