I don't understand why we have to go through such mental gymnastics when we have the yearly sales for gameboy and I provided the source and the numbers based off another user's thread:

You requested a metric so you could put numbers together. That is your request.
It's your own fault.

I just took it a step further to break it down and make your life easier.

But if you cannot see the issue of grabbing a Nintendo handheld and "combining" it with the sales of a home console that launched an entire generation later... Then there really is no assisting you in this matter.
You need to come to terms with the fact you are messing with numbers... Just so Nintendo loses one less console generation.

I have also provided evidence directly from Nintendo... So using vgchartz shipped numbers is irrelevant, you don't get a more accurate number than from Nintendo themselves, unless you are trying to push a bias.

The topic is not even this, I'm trying to be collaborative. This isn't a home console versus home console question but a market leader vs competitor question. So including portables and home consoles is completely legitimate. Why we talking about faults nothing needs to be negative here. I just asked you for a breakdown, provide the console breakdown and let me crunch the numbers for you, that's what I asked for.

Anyhow I'd like to talk about how Nintendo can maintain its leading position.
