| mountaindewslave said: are you deliberately being dull or what? you realize that the Gameboy lasted through MULTIPLE home console generations right? the original Gameboy was being sold from like 1989 until the late 90s. to compare it to handheld generations that last half of that is just naive. the only way to comparitvely use the original Gameboy sales with the SNES or N64 hardware sales you would have to cut the Gameboy sales in life half. again, the N64 (and SNES) were not around for large periods of sales time for the original Gameboy. the original Gameboy does not even fit per say into an exact generation as its successor (the Gameboy Color) did not come out until the late 90s
generally you would use Nintendo 64 hardware sales + Gameboy Color Sales as the combined number for that generation, at least thats how people generally look at it |
Even if I humour you and we cut Gameboy's sales in half:
1/2 GB + SNES = 110 million
1/2 GB + N64 = 92 million
Wii U + 3DS = 70 million, will likely end up at 80 million.
So even with arbitary rules, this is still their worst generation.
