Wikipedia article is wrong, Saturn didn't even ship 10m. Master System was second best selling Sega console with 13m.

Problem with the Wikipedia entry is that the footnote for the 17m sold, if you actually follow that link, is a redirect to GamePro, where it is noted in the source article that the Saturn only sold 9.5m.

Re-reading Wikipedia's console entries for fifth gen ... there are A LOT of things wrong with it. But the Saturn sales are the most glaring. Saturn didn't sell 17m -- not even close!

That's not true. If you follow the link you do not get redirected to GamePro, but to this PDF article:
http://www.26econ.com/pdf/InvisibleEngines.pdf

In it, you'll find the following quote: "Sega’s Saturn fared very poorly, with only 17 million units sold by 1998, when it was discontinued."

Now, it doesn't give sources for that quote, so I cannot say how true it is. But at least get your facts straight.
