Going by calendar year, at least, here's what the PS1 had shipped globally from its peak onward: 1998: 22.5M 1995: 4.3M In terms of actual sales, even though shipments in 1999 show a very modest decline, calendar year sales were actually down from 1998 by 30.6% in Japan and 17.9% in the U.S.. However, in numerical terms that was a total decline of only about 2.57M between the two regions, and Sony's shipment data suggests sales in Europe were up in 1999 (both fiscal and calendar), which would have offset declines in Japan and North America. But Sony slowed down shipments to Europe big time once 2000 rolled around. To the best of my knowledge, no system was ever replaced when its global sales were at a peak. Some have been replaced when they were still doing very well, but even those systems had passed their peaks when their successor was released. |
Yeah, I would assume GBA would the closest if not an actual example but i cant find the numbers
