Since 1995, Nintendo has sold more hardware than Sony.

Since 2000, Nintendo has sold more hardware than Sony.

Since 2005, Nintendo has sold more hardware than Sony.

Since 2008, Nintendo has sold more hardware than Sony.

Since 2011, Sony has sold more hardware than Nintendo.

 

Sure, we can play the what if game all we want, it doesnt change facts.

Yes, ok, lol, but if you look at context for one the statements of Nintendo creating some huge gap are false, and secondly I do think it's fair to point out Nintendo has had 8 hardware platforms since 1995 to get just a tad over 500 million in that time.  

Like for instance lets just say for whatever reason the DS didn't exist and you compared Wii to PS3 + PSP, I'm sure you would quickly point out that's unfair because it's two hardware lines versus one. 

Sony has hit 500 million with 2 fewer hardware systems in that time, really the difference boils down to Sony not having a portable from 1995-2004. 

Sony is by far the most consistent hardware seller in the business, they've only had one hardware ever sell under 80 million, that's an unheard of level of consistency in this industry.

Nintendo sold about 140 million units of hardware as of March 31, 1995. Now the gap ia about 200 million so yes Nintendo has added alot to the gap in the last 22 years.

You are the only one who has pulled what if scenarios out of your ass. What if this didnt happen or what if that didnt happen or what if we exclude this or that, etc.

Also there is honestly no reason to expect a Sony handheld in the late 90s to have done amazing. Sony had one success and one failure in the handheld market so its just as likely that it would fail especially when you consider that it would release right when Pokemania was starting and that a huge reason for PSP success was the multimedia features which wouldnt have been possible at the time.

Ya your last statement is true but pretty irrelevant to the discussion.
