The main thing wrong with this list is that it did not go back far enough to be called "of all time."
With the exception of the Atari 2600, no console from the classic (pre-NES/FC) era sold 10M (the Atari sold 30M in its dozen-plus year run).
Consoles today with lively homebrew communities and general followings -- such as the Colecovision (6-7M). Intellivision (3-6M depending upon source and interpretation), Odyssey 2/Videopac (unknown), and Atari 5200 (unknown) sold less than the DC.
Plus, there were a multitude of other consoles which didn't sell that well: RCA Studio II, Fairchild/Zircon Channel F, APF MP-1000, Bally Astrocade, Emerson Arcadia 2001, Vectrex, etc. -- as well as pong and other dedicated units and the original Magnovox Odyssey.

 I am Mario.I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492 NNID: Mike_INTV |
