This made me curious about the other console manufacurers and according to VGChartz it's:
DS: 154.88
GB: 118.69
GBA: 81.51
3DS: 64.14
Wii: 101.18
NES: 61.91
SNES: 49.10
Nintendo 46: 32.93
Gamecube: 21.74
WiiU: 13.87
TOTAL: 699,95 for Nintendo
xbox360: 85.78
xboxone: 28.62
xbox: 24.65
TOTAL: 139.05 for Microsoft
Sega Genesis: 29.54
GameGear: 10.62
Sega Saturn: 8.82
Dreamcast: 8.20
(No numbers for the Normad)
TOTAL: 57,18 for Sega ;____;
So Nintendo is also about to clear the 700m milestone with the Switch. The truly impressive thing about Sony is just how many home consoles they magaged to sell. Nintendo who is in the business longer has only sold 280m homeconsoles, while Sonys success firmly rests on it's homeconsoles.
Edit: beat to it by zorg1000 :P

VGChartz Mega Drive sales are really far from the true numbers, it was on par with the SNES the whole gen, actually it was beating it due to the headstart, and it catched up with good lags after the 32X/Sega CD failed and Sega userbase just dropped from a cliff with the Saturn.
Mega Drive sold around 40M according with some research made on some forums, which is a much more believable number.

Thanks! That number did seem very low to me. I thought maybe VGC tracked US only for the MegaDrive since it's listed as Genesis only, but then the NES is also just listed as that and seems to have the correct numers, so I ended up just taking it at face value.
