| Oyvoyvoyv said: I agree with the OP here. Gameboy and Gameboy colour were fairly different. There were a lot of games that weren't playable on GB, only GBC (I mean a lot, I think it's at least 10% of the later GBC games, maybe 33%). So I think they should be split up. The problem is, how? We have data with them combined. What you could do to split up the sales is: For HW: GB sales = sales up untill GBC released, + 20% of the total GB sales for the next year.
SW: No way to do it.
Anyway, for HW.
GBC release = November 98.
GB ships up untill end of September 98 = 69.56M. + October 98 = ~ 70M. Ships next year: 15M. So between 73-77M for GB LT.
That means GBC shipped = 40-45M.
So for Nintendo handhelds, this is the sales.
GB = 73-77M GBC = 40-45M GBA = 80M DS = 90M (expected LT = 150M +) |
Long story short, DS best hardware seller Nintendo's ever had confirmed?
