Yes they do add up.

NES-62, G&W-43, total-105

SNES-49, GB (89-96)-54, total-103

N64-33, GB (97-03)-64, total-97

GC-22, GBA-81, total-103

These 4 generations add up to 100 give or take a few

Wii-101, DS-154, total-255

Wii U-15-20, 3DS-65-70, total-85 give or take

We have 4 generations that have sold roughly the same, one waaaayyy higher, and one slightly under.

ok my bad-  I now understand your numbers in parantheses were the totals -  i was adding those to the home console numbers 

thanks for the response

Wait, I'm a little confused, the numbers in parentheses aren't the totals, that's splitting up the Gameboy sales between Gen 4 & Gen 5 numbers since it was a 2 generation device. So during the 4th Generation (April 1989-March 1996) Gameboy sold 54 million and during the 5th generation (April 1996-March 2003) Gameboy sold 64 million.

I think we're on the same page now, I just wanted to clarify just in case.
