NES sold ~ 60M. Its competition totalled out ~ 13M. That's a 82% marketshare.

The Ps2 will end at ~ 140M, or slightly less. Its competition sold 56M. That's a 70% marketshare.

Where'd you get those numbers for the competition? I've never been able to find numbers for the Master System and the 7800

That's shipments, so I can trust Wikipedia on it, as I also remember the old numbers here (which are now gone?) fitting in with it. It lacks the 7800 though, but it sold less than 3M, didn't it?

Huh. Never knew the Master System sold that much on its own. But yeah, the rumor about 7800 numbers is < 3 million.
