In their quarterly report in april of this year, Apple announced that 37 million iPhones and iPod touches had been shipped: http://gregorykaiser.wordpress.com/2009/04/23/how-many-iphones-and-itouch-ipods-sold/ And at the end of September, Apple announced that it had sold 50 million iPhones and iPod touches. That's a difference of 13 million units, if you're keeping score: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=87571 So how were the sales of the DS in the same period? VGChartz Hardware data for the period 26th Apr 2009 to 26th Sep 2009: Console DS Total 9,157,369 Somewhat slower, though these are sellthrough rather than shipped numbers. I expect you to go back to your lame excuse that the iPod touch and the iPhone are two different platforms while conveniently ignoring that the DSi has hardware capabilities that the DS Lite lacks. |
Apple has sold 20 million iPod Touch units as of September 2009.[5]

Iphones sold: 21.17 million (as of Q2 2009)

That's a lot less than 50 million ringo, like around 8-9 million less, so yeah, I think you need to recheck your figures
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
