DS top of the pile

Nintendo's released updated sales figures for all its consoles, and it's certainly a lot of numbers.

The company's three current platforms — 3DS, Wii and the DS family — sit at a combined global sales figure of 264.5 million consoles sold. That figure's dwarfed by the software statistic: over 1.76 billion games have been sold for all three machines combined.

Here's the breakdown of where each console stands. Figures include sales up to and including 31st March 2012, but do not include games sold via download.

That's a lot of coins.

I see we're undertracking Pokemon Rumble Blast and Black and White. Good. I like this franchise.

Looks like the Wii is slightly undertracked here on Vgchartz. It's all good.

Interesting numbers, 630m total units, ... just impressive.

shipped vs. sold bro.  wii/3Ds is somewhat overtracked.  DS has sold>shipped.

Wow, only 20 million gamecubes sold? Wii is ridicioulous in sales numbers, no wonder Nintendo has had their first loss in over 30 years, the spike of profits with the Wii for 4 years straight dwarfed anything that they have ever done along with the DS, it was so profitable that there was no way they could keep up that ridiculous pace -_-

Power of Mario :)

Iconic standards by any measure. no other will ever come close to those numbers.

reflecting on my legendary status as a ninty fan

What about the PS1 and PS2?

shhh you, those aren't consoles, they were cd and dvd players.

Anyway it seems like vgchartz is overtracking a lot of 3ds software.

Its also odd that it seems to be undertracking black and white by a lot, but overtracking diamond and pearl by a lot.
