Nintendo has now trumped Sony for 20 years in Japan

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
It means the full year of software sales, so from the end of 2005.
Like here, in 2004 (full year) 8 were PS2 games.
Yes in 2004, 8 were PS2 games.

But that has nothing to do with 2005. "Since 2005" means 2005 is year 1 where Nintendo dominate Japan.

2006 is year 2
...
2024 is year 20

It's about software sales throughout the year though, you don't count from 2005 Jan 1st, the games would be 0.
Maybe I am talking crazy but it makes sense to me lol.

2005 is the first year
2006 is the second year
2014 in the tenth year
2024 is the twentieth year.

Does this help?
It's like when people say Series X/PS5 have been out 5 years.
I get that's how they are counting 20 years but that doesn't make sense to me lol.

But that isn't how they are counting....

PS5 launched 12 November 2020. 5 years from that is 12 November 2025, in the future.

This data is couting from from 1 January 2005. 20 years from that is 1 Jan 2025, in the past.
