We won't ever know most of these due to incomplete sales data. VGC is the only place with annual sales data for Europe, and that only goes back to last generation. Available Famitsu hardware sales data only goes back to 2000, and I've been unable to find NPD hardware data for anything older than the SNES and Genesis, so no NES, Master System, or TurboGrafx-16. We do have annual shipment figures from Sony and Nintendo, but no sales. There are no shipment figures available for the original Xbox or for any Sega console. Oh, and the Genesis and Mega Drive are the same system, so you can merge those together.

I never knew that, was it Genisis in the US and Megadrive elsewhere? As I had a Megadrive!


Yep Genesis in America and Megadrive elsewhere like Super Nintendo in America and Super Famicom in EU if I'm not mistaken.

I'll be updating this as I find info, if you have any please let me know!

Microsoft Xbox One - 52 weeks minimum (58~?)
Nintendo WiiU - 104 Weeks minimum (111~?)

For those guys, you might as well wait for the real numbers... 

My estimate would be 

Microsoft Xbox One - 65 weeks  - If Microsoft ends price cut, the demand will tank so either by 1/2/15 or maybe in March
Nintendo WiiU - 135 Weeks - Assuming that the Wii U goes back to pre holiday baseline.

65 weeks isnt that too much??? MS has already said they almost sold 10 million.

No they didn't, they said they almost shipped 10million. They could have shipped 9.5mil and have over 1.5mil on shelves.

The X1 will pass the 10 million mark in early December.

That seems extremely unlikely.  You are only giving it 3 weeks to sell 2.4 million units (by VGC estimates.) And its not doing that WE 11/22 so  you are saying that it will have 2 weeks @ 1 million each?  Or a week of 1.5 million and 2 weeks make up the last million?  I'm a little lost.  How do you expect the numbers to play out?

Edit:  Oh early December.  Okay well that is more possible.  I thought you meant first week December.

Are you ignoring my post about when the PS4 actually had passed 10 million sales?

It's only 41 weeks if you use VGC numbers, and choose to not believe Sony when they announced 10 million sold (as of 10th of august) through at Gamescom.


It was shipped, not sold.
