Gen 4: roughly 160 million consoles sold (minus GBC)

Gen5: roughly 208 million consoles sold (adding GBC)

Gen6: roughly 300 million consoles sold

Gen7: so far 450 million consoles sold, will likely stop around 500 million

Gen 8: If history repeats itself 650 million

Gen9: 850 million

Gen10: 1 F*cking billion

So do you think in Gen 8 and up, one of the platforms has a chance to top 180 million?

Easily why not? The DS and PS2 is already hitting 150 million
