doesn't make sense.  I always read over 2 million in Japan for several years, wikipedia says so and those software sales make no sense for a system with 650k.  I've seen the 10.6 million WW sales many times as well and that would need more than 650k from Japan.  

I know, but as I said, that 650k is the last Famitsu number, I know its nuts.

I remember a discussion on salesgaf months ago, about some guys that uncovered some old Sega inverstors document that rather put the Dreamcast at 9.2m interestingly enough, nobody truly knows where the "Dreamcast sold 10.6m" truly came from as Sega never publicly said that, its the most commonly used LTD number for the system but it might not be true.

Wouldn't be too crazy as nobody knows how much the Saturn sold either, people claim that it did between 9.5m to even 16m.

Yes it is crazy because it's wrong, 650k makes absolutely no sense.  The software sales show that.  Those software numbers look consistant with a system that sold about half of what the saturn did not 1/8 of it.
