I thought the official Sega Mega Drive numbers were never known or confirmed by Sega...

I had no idea the Gameboy was that big.

Congrats to Nintendo on the Wii though! I find myself enjoying that system a good bit these days playing brawl, fortune street and a few virtual console and gamecube games.

Atto Suggests...:

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords

Will the PS3/360 pass it in the next few years?
With no backwards compatibility, I think all 7th gen systems will just about reach 100m by their lifes end.

Wait a moment,

Does Chartz count GB and GBC as the same handheld?

they are the same handheld, but different models. few games only run on the gbc, just like few only run on dsi/xl but they're still versions of the same system

If Nintendo supported it to the end, this thing would be game boy range.

Yep, with enough support from them I agree.

Heck, the Wii would've likely passed PS1 numbers now if Ninty had only made NSMBU a Wii game instead and released it late 2011 or 2012.

I posted this in another thread but heres a way I think Nintendo could have kept Wii relevant for an additional 1-2 years and not messed up Wii U launch.

2011 Wii releases-Xenoblade Chronicles Q1, Fortune Street Q2, Kirby Return to Dreamland Q3, Skyward Sword/Just Dance/Skylanders Q4. Basically the same as reality but just spreading out the titles throughout the year and bringing over Xenoblade earlier. Sales about 12-14 million

2012-Last Story Q1, Pandora Tower Q2, Pikmin 3 Q3, New Super Mario Bros Wii 2/Just Dance/Skylanders Q4. This year they release the rest of Operation Rainfall and have Pikmin never switch to Wii U which could have gotten it out much sooner. Sales 8-10 million

2013-Rayman Legends/Lego City Undercover first half, Just Dance/Skylanders second half. Sales 5-6 million

As for Wii U it should have been delayed to holiday 2013 with only one the Deluxe bundle at $299

Launch exclusives-Nintendo Land (bundled), Mario 3D World, DKC Tropical Freeze, Wii Party U, ZombiU (could have used some extra time polishing since it was rushed)

Launch multiplats-COD Ghosts, Skylanders, Assassins Creed 4, Watch Dogs, Just Dance, Battlefield 4, EA Sports and a few others

2014 releases could look like

Q1-Wind Waker HD, Wonderful 101, Mario & Sonic Olympics

Q2-Mario Kart 8, Sonic Lost World, Wii Fit U

Q3-Bayonetta 2, SMTxFE, Yarn Yoshi

Q4-Smash Bros, Wii Sports U, X

When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Considering all the high hopes everyone had of it eventually passing PS2 during the early years, this is kind of sad. Still, congrats! It still has a shot of passing PS1, I guess.

Someone predicted that it'd outsell the whole PS family lol.

Congrats very nice milestone.
