I flew too close to the 1TF sun and my Switch wings melted.

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.

 

 

haha dude you cant keep switching goalposts, you cant go from console+handheld sales to just consoles to support your arguments.

Nintendo shipped more hardware than Sony did in each of those years.

You're totally right, it's far more reasonable to compare one company's home console's sales to another company's home console sales plus their handheld sales, because Sony never actually entered the handheld market for around another decade. It's not like before I was comparing one Nintendo home console and one Nintendo handheld to another Nintendo home console and another Nintendo handheld from two different time frames, and this time I'm comparing two home consoles that competed head to head over the same time frame.

This is absolutely ridiculous. You think I'm moving the goalposts? Try and pay attention to what's actually happening.
