I fucked up my last thread. This is the good one =)
Well, during the last 5 VG gens we've seen a trend. Each console generation sold more than the previous one. The fact that this generation has outsold the last one by almost 40M is incredibly. Especially taknig into account the fact that last gen had PS2 (more than 150M PS2 were sold). This is due mainly because of the fact that this generation had 3 consoles that sold more than 80 M consoles each!!!! They could even sell more than 80 M.
The trend looks like this:
| Generation | SONY | NINTENDO | SEGA | MICROS | TOTAL |
| NES, Master System | 61.91 | 9.7 | 71.61 | ||
| SNES, Genesis | 49.1 | 36.5 | 85.6 | ||
| PS, N64, Sat | 104.25 | 32.93 | 8.82 | 146 | |
| PS2, GC, XB, DC | 153.68 | 21.74 | 8.2 | 24.65 | 208.27 |
| PS3, Wii, 360 | 72.41 | 98.79 | 74.25 | 245.45 |
*Numbers taken from VGC. Master System + Genesis were calculated from various sources. The numbers are probably off. I didn't had data for other consoles (e.g. Jaguar).
Where will this generation number settle? It should pass at least 250 M. Maybe 260?
Will next-gen have better sales than this one????
Discuss!!!
