R/B/G are all one entry hence why Nintendo counts all their shipments as one and either way it doesn't matter too much as Blue wasn't available at retail in Japan so the 10m figure is all R/G. Nintendo's official shipments would have gen one at 10m plus.

Why do you say that Blue wasn´t available at retail? Blue is a separate game like Crystal to Gold & Silver. I don´t know why the count them together though :P

Because Blue wasn't available at retail it was only available via special order if you were a Corocoro subscriber you couldn't buy it in shops Blue is more a limited edition in Japan than a separate release which is why Nintendo counts them together and why Blue was sort after in Japan. Yellow is more like Crystal being a third version Blue is not really a third version it's a limited edition of R/G, in the west Blue replaced Green and was a standard edition but then that was 2 years after Japan.

Edit: It seems a retail version came around 99/2000 almost 4 years later.
