The explosion of Pokemon in Japan in 96 and in subsequent years in the West probably has a lot to do with it too. Would be interesting to see Consoles and HHs seperately.


The charts on the front page does have them separately, the first one is just consoles and the second is both so u just have to subtract the first chart from the second chart to find the handheld numbers.

But ya, in 1995 SNES had already peaked and was starting to decline and N64 wouldn't release until the following year. Also Gameboy was showing it's age and Pokemon had yet to release so 1995 was a transitional year.

Good point. So as far as Consoles go its 5.86m SNES/NES (if any) in 95 compared to 3.Xm WiiU/Wii in 15.
