Very interesting chart to see how much the market has grown since the mid 90's. I wonder if such a flow chart for the US and Japan exist?

I have seen similar for both, but they're several years out of date unfortunately.
Anyway, here are some of the LTDs from previous generations, Gamecube LTD through 2005 (it's sales were next to nothing in 2006, I have total LTD at 1.2m) really puts Wii performance into perspective. Again, the original Xbox sales in 2006 were very low too (I have it at 2.2m LTD), so 360 has now passed it's predecessor.PS2 should be around 10m by now.
Based off of various sources I have reasonably decent Chart-Track estimates for the following systems:
Sega Dreamcast: 0.6m
Nintendo 64: 1.7m
Sega Saturn: 0.4m
For 16-bit gen the data isn't as accurate, but based off Chart-Track (formerly Gallup) and other data I have the following estimates:
Sega Mega Drive: 3.1m
Super Nintendo: 1.6m
8-bit is even sketchier, but from a combination of Gallup (now Chart-Track) and EA internal estimates along with a small estimation for end of life sales I estimate:
Sega Master System: 1.6m
Nintendo Entertainment System: 1.4m
Sega Gamegear: 1m
Unfortunately the data is less accurate the further back we go, but they should serve as decent ballpark figures:
