I'll do handhelds...it has that info as well.

Game Boy (Nintendo includes Gameboy Color in this)

~501 million units of software shipped

~118.69 million Game Boy's shipped

Lifetime attach rate by shipments ~ 4.2 games sold per Game Boy

 

Game Boy Advance

~ 375 million units of software shipped

~ 80.72 million GBAS shipped to date (though Dec 31 2007)

Lifetime attach rate by shipments ~4.6 games sold per Game Boy Advance (to date)

 

DS

~ 331 million units of software shipped (through Dec 31 2007)

~ 64.79 million DSs shipped to date (through Dec 31 2007)

Life time attach rate by shipments ~5.1 games sold per DS (to date)

 

DS should reach at leat 95 million (conservatively), so it should easily top Nintendo's big daddys in software sales - NES, and Game Boy. At PS2 hardware numbers, with six games sold instead of 5.1...your talking...750 million units of software. However at only $35 for games and cheaper hardware, likely not as profitable as either NES or Wii...
