Wait, what??  You do know that those consoles were competing against the PS1 and PS2, right? 

NES+Master System+Atari 7800-~75 million

SNES+Genesis+Turbografx-~90 million

PS1+N64+Saturn-~145 million

PS2+XB+GC+DC-~210 million

Wii+PS3+360-~275 million

 

His point stands, selling ~50 million in the mid-late 2010s is not the same as selling that amount in the 80s or 90s. It represented a much larger marketshare back then.

1) I´ll give you that one

2) I´ll give you that one

3) N64 grabbed a 22% marketshare that gen (How they managed to let A NEW GUY to grab the rest of the market will always baffle me)

4) GC grabbed an 11% of marketshare that gen. 

And this is Nintendo we´re talking about.  The oldest and possibly more recognizable brand of them all.
