You’re just proving my point tbh. The console market grew to almost 300% the size. So 1/3 Of 40 Million is 13.3 Million. 13 Million 4th gen would have been slightly more than PC Engine. You call that a success?!

The problem in your logic is that you are comparing the total sales of one device versus 4 years of sales on the other device.

The console market grew to almost 300% the size. So 1/3 Of 70 Million PS4s is 23.3 Million. 23 Million 4th gen would have been in the middle of PC Engine + MegaDrive and not even half of the SNES sales. You call that a success?! ;)

You do understand, that the 40 million we hypothetically assumed for XBox are far from the actual numbers...it's more of a life-time prediction.
