Virtual Boy is a console, the PocketStation is a peripheral that required a PlayStation. There's far more merit to include the Virtual Boy, but I'm not going to include either. Not just because of the Virtual Boy's short life and terrible sales but:

"an increasing amount of company resources were being reallocated to Nintendo 64 development."

"The console was pushed to market in an unfinished state in 1995 to focus on Nintendo 64 development."

The Virtual Boy was essentially put out to die, and is the most extreme case of atypical sales.

Your bias is showing. You either include them all for all companies, or don't attempt at a comparison. It doesn't matter how poorly Nintendo handled its release, it was a main console they released. You can't discount it because it hurts the average.

That you'd call me biased towards nintendo over playstation is hillarious and shows your ignorance on the matter. You clearly don't know me or my posts. Virtual Boy is a gigantic anomaly for multiple reasons, so I chose not to include it. This wasn't to "make nintendo look good". If I wanted to do that I wouldn't have made the post in the first place.

Ye and even including handhelds, 3 of the top 5 will be PlayStation. They have a very consistent track record of success. Their average sales for a console is 90.6m, that's including the Vita. No other company can say that.

Average PlayStation sales - 90.6m (Over 6 systems)
Average Nintendo Sales - 67.93m (Over 11 systems) (Not including virtual boy)
Average Xbox Sales - 51.5m (Over 3 systems)

Hell PlayStation only have one system that didn't make it into the Top 10.

^ Makes this post, gets accused of being biased against PlayStation/Towards Nintendo. smfh.
