By the user called ratolmc that mentioned sales of PS home consoles? Yeah, I guess he was quite entertaining.

I wouldn't say this thread nor D'Angelo's article have been swarmed by downplayers though as ratolmc literally is the only user not congratulating Nintendo/praising Nintendo's profits compared to PS/Xbox. And that's a good thing! I see far too many downplayers in other threads. Some users could learn a thing or two :)

Yeah. Profitwise nintendo is a behemoth. The other rivals, Sony and Microsoft, is behemoth companies per se. Sony is the innovative Japanese company in the late 70s and 80s. And a great game company. Microsoft is a software genius company, in PC space. And have too much money. 

Here's to all three staying healthy and in the space for many years to come!

Impressive but I just cant help but compare Nintendo's numbers to the absolute monster numbers Sony's consoles have put up. (except vita lol)

PS2 about 155m
PS4 about 100m
PS1 about 100m
PS3 about 85m
PSP about 80m
PSV about 15m

That puts it at least 535 million units compared to 750 million Nintendo currently has.
What's also impressive is its only Sony's 6 consoles vs Nintendo's 11 as well as Nintendo having an 11 year head start in the gaming industry compared to Sony's playstation.
Nonetheless I'd like to congratulate Nintendo's massive achievement

How about Sony 1st party software sales? Why didn't you add them too?

Which parts did he mentioned the software sales????? I bet you just easily getting hurt feeling by simple post  smhh

Also this is hardware report sales not software sales. I bet you need a glass to read the titles to stay intact with the discussion.  

You forgot p0isonparadise also showed Nintendo 1st party software number in his post, not just Nintendo hardware number. But ratolmc replied with just Sony hardware number, that's why i asked him about Sony 1st party software number too. If anything, you need to go to doctor to check your eyes first. If you Sony fans want to play down Nintendo achievement, you need to try a lot and a lot better

I am asking about your reply to ratolmc and  not to  P0isonparadise , and your original reply was to ratolmc not to p0isonparadise.  you need to go to doctor to check your brain too

OP post:

"With their latest quarterly report Nintendo has crossed the three quarter of a billion mark.

DS - 154.02 million
Game Boy - 118.69 million
Wii - 101.63 million
GBA - 81.51 million

NES - 61.91 million
SNES - 49.10 million
Switch - 41.67 million
N64 - 32.93 million
GameCube - 21.74 million 
Wii U - 13.56 million  

Total: 752.21 million 

Nintendo is the best-selling video game hardware manufacturer of all time.

Here are some updated estimates on Nintendo's best-selling series.

Mario - 631.36 million
Pokemon - 290.00 million
Wii Sports - 116.31 million
The Legend of Zelda - 109.32 million
Donkey Kong - 66.55 million 
Super Smash Bros. - 56.88 million
Wii Fit - 44.66 million
Kirby - 40.62 million
Animal Crossing - 35.55 million
Brain Age - 33.89 million 

Nintendo's first party games have sold more than 1.5 billion copies."

Then ratolmc post:

If OP showed both Nintendo hardware and software sales number here then why did ratolmc only show Sony hardware sales number? Want to compare, right? Then show both here, or he (and even you) can't do that? Again, are your reading ability and your brain are ok? Some Sony fans are more hurt by my own question it seems

That's because the OP titles is only mentioned "

Nintendo Tops 750 Million Hardware

So He only compare it using hardware. Which is why he is  very impressive with Nintendo "HARDWARE SALES "  . 

After that you are offended by his post mentioned Sony even with 6 consoles generations also achieve a great feat , then you trying to downplay Sony using strawman argument by asking software sales, which is silly because OP are discussing hardware sales but putting soft sales just as bonus. Not a primary discussion. 

If you want to be fair to counter his  argument just bring more hardware sales discussion without bringing software sales discussion.

Why do you even engage a conversation with HoangNhatAnh?

Don't you see that's exactly what he wants? He breathes negativity.

Here is the Mario breakdown.

2D Mario - 246.65 million
Mario Kart - 138.18 million
3D Mario - 82.89 million
Mario Party - 51.60 million
Mario Sports - 28.76 million
Mario & Sonic - 21.55 million
Mario & Luigi - 14.87 million
Dr Mario - 11.49 million
Mario Maker - 11.34 million
Paper Mario - 10.37 million
Other* - 13.70~ million

*These include Mario Paint, Mario vs DK, Mario RPG, Mario+Rabbids and other smaller single entry titles.

Wow, you must have gone to a lot of trouble there. Thanks a lot! Shows my data wasn't quite accurate. Very interesting nonetheless. Once Mario is broken down, its's not even best selling franchise! 3D Mario is about 5th! Also, i'm surprised Mario + Sonic is lumped in at all with Mario. It's chiefly a Sega franchise from what I can find. Couldn't find who owns the IP tho

Mario is the best selling franchise. Maybe not individual series (which all still sell millions).

Yep but what I find interesting is that it's only the best selling if all the different genres/series within it is combined. Pokémon is the biggest franchise if you only count it against the 2d or 3d platform games. Mario kart on its own is #4 I believe.

ANDY MURRAY:- GRAND SLAM WINNER!

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

But that's only if you count all Pokemon games together, regardless of whether they're spinoffs or not. The core RPG series has sold 239.57 million units combined versus 2D Mario at 246.65 million. And even this is unfair, since we're combining all Pokemon RPGs regardless of whether they're remakes or revised versions, while we're splitting Mario platformers into 2D and 3D. Combined, Mario platformers are at 329.54 million.

If you want a breakdown: Flagship Pokemon RPGs have sold 136.60 million, upgraded releases have sold 52.78 million, and remakes have sold 50.19 million.
