Nope.Sugarbetik/Nautilus is just coping with his irrelevant numbers. Zelda and Pokemon were on a 100+ millions install base compared with Spider-Man 2 on only 46 millions.
Even GOW had the the full 100+ millions on PS4 to help sale those extra copies. The difference is very small.
Smash Ultimate(2018) - 5 million units in 3 days on 32 million installbase.
Pokemon Sword and Shield(2019) - 6 million units in 3 days on 45 million installbase.
Mario Odyssey - 9 million units on 15 million installbase.
Installbase excuses are hardly matter for exclusives.
