| archbrix said: I'm not saying that it was Nintendo's primary goal to out-ship the Playstation, only that it would have likely resulted in doing so had they supported the Wii better in its final years. The sad thing is that if the WiiU had opened with a tremendous first year of Nintendo software then we could at least say there was some positive payoff for it, but we all know how that went. |
The chartz numbers for PS1 are wrong anyways though, the Production Shipments for PS1 ended at 102.49M according to last numbers released by Sony. - http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/data/bizdataps_e.html">http://web.archive.org/web/20110524023857/www.scei.co.jp/corporate/data/bizdataps_e.html
Sony previously reported 102.54M as the final PS1 number in it's graph chart but has since adjusted FY97 from 19.37M to 19.32M.
4.3 + 9.2 + 19.32 + 21.6 + 18.5 + 9.31 + 7.4 + 6.78 + 3.31 + 2.77 = 102.49M
The Wii is currently at 101.63M and with the PS1 at 102.49M there's only a 0.86M difference between the Wii and PS1.
For the WiiU and all it's many mistakes.. let's just hope that Nintendo learned a lot.
