150 million is still way off from the real number. Also what do you mean when PS1 took over? Nintendo shipped more hardware than Sony did in FY97, FY98 & FY99. |
You're right. I forgot how back ended the Gameboy's sales were. it was closer to 120 million. My bad.
PS1 sales:
FY96: 9.2M
FY97: 19.4M
FY98: 21.6M
FY99: 18.5M
N64 sales:
FY96: 11.9M
FY97: 10.0M
FY98: 7.9M
FY99: 7.1M
I mean, I don't know about you, but it looks to me like something happened in FY97 where the PS1 sold almost twice as much as the N64. Since that point it's been a rare occurrance for a playstation home consoles to sell less than 18 million (combined) in any given year outside of the PS3's rough start. As for Nintendo? It's only happened a handful of times since when the Wii was at is peak. To me, that represents a shift.
