That was a reply to the comments that these are totally separate things, and can't be compared. I am not a member of The Swedish Academy, but they obviously felt that Dylan's song fit the requirements.
The line about Shakespeare was a joke, hence the wink, as it only stared in 1901.
I don't really follow your use of the word, "prodigiousness". This is more a discussion of quality than quantity. And what his catalog sold for seems irrelevant, so I think I'm missing your point.
