GBA SP sales are included in GBA sales so cut it out from the list.

There are five handhelds in the top ten.  So it's more like #8.

GBA and GBA SP should be together and the commodore64 is a home computer.

I count 5 handhelds and a commodore... 13-6=7.

7th best selling console. Soon it will be the fifth.

Well of course it does if you dont take in consideration handheld sales ... this was a waste of time tbh ... also why is GBA : SP represented as a different system and GBC isnt ? Dont get me wrong but I still dont think that GB should be at 119 million ...that number is made out of 2 systems ...
