I can see them hitting the half a billion mark in the next three-four years.

Interesting to see that Sony' only a couple of hundred million behind Nintendo despite entering the console race a decade later

Yeah, they have done excellent with home console sales.  Even the PS3 as a lowpoint will end up near 100 million.  Still, in fairness to Nintendo, it's not completely fair to compare today's console numbers with those from decades ago.  For example, the NES selling 61 million long before the video gaming market became nearly as big as it is today is impressive as hell.

I agree, but at the same time Nintendo didn't have much competition in North America and Japan until SEGA came out with the Master System.
