Also note:
USA Population in 2003 - 291m. PS2 peaked in 2002, so probably ~289m
USA Population in 1990 - 248m. NES peaked in 1989, so probably ~245m
So the USA 2002 Pop= USA 1989 Pop * 1.17
If NES sold ~7.5-8.0m of those shipped units in the USA in 1989, and if I'm remembering correctly, PS2 did 8-9m in the USA in 2002, then PS2 roughly only peaked 17% higher than NES - exactly in line with USA population growth.
Thats all estimation but still fairly stunning if even remotely true.
People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.
