Genesis: It blows my mind that it didn't crack 40 million units.
SNES: It feels like it hit 55-60 million.
N64: It seemed popular enough to where it should've cracked 40 million.
GameCube: I knew plenty of people growing up who had one. I would've figured 30 million or more globally.
Xbox: Again, Halo's popularity and knowing several people who had one I would've thought 30 million or more.
PSP: It feels like it couldn't have gotten over 65-70 million. I only ever met 2 people who I knew had one.
Wii: It felt like it was everywhere, I would've guessed 110 million or more instead of finishing around 101 million.
Xbox 360: USA bias here, where it was super successful. I wouldn't've have been surprised if the console cracked 100 million worldwide, but it obviously fell well short of that.
Wii U: Even with the reports online of it flopping, I didn't have to look far to know people who had one.
