So, wait? Adjusted for undertracked games, the PS2 has more million sellers than Nintendo has ever published? I consider that impressive.

Haha. That's kinda funny, because I see it the other way around. A single publisher has close to as many million sellers as the most successful console of all time. I think that's kinda impressive. The PS2 is a beast. Simple as that.

 

Yeah, but the PS2 has been around for 9 years. Nintendo has been making games for around 25 years, and up until the Wii, they were the dominant publisher on all their platforms. Not to mention that publishing a game isn't the same as developing one.

 

What?

 

Okay - 2 things here.

 

Firstly:

The bolded is plain wrong.

SNES total shipped: 379M

Nintendo Published: 95-115M

That's less than 25%. Hardly dominant.

 

N64 total shipped: 225M

120-125M

 55%. Dominant

 

GC shipped: 210M

Nintendo published: 75-90M

~ 40%. Not dominant (3rd party sold 50% more)

 

(I have no total data for handhelds)

 

 

Secondly.

Ps2 has 214 million sellers

Nintendo has published 229 million sellers. And that's with a lot of lacking data (more than with the Ps2, due to being older).

 

It's not that relevant, but still higher.
