Console generation winners:
1st generation = Commodore 64 ~ 25 million
2nd generation = Atari ~ 30 million
3rd generation = NES ~ 60 million
4th generation = SNES ~ 45 million
5th generation = PSX ~ 105 million
6th generation = PS2 130 million+ (still selling)
7th generation = Wii  45 million +(current generation and Nintendo has already won it)
8th generation = Anyone's guess

 

C64 wasn't a console (ok, the 1st edition actually had a cartridge slot but was rarely used) and came out WELL AFTER the Atari VCS/2600.
