Can you pass me sources of these? I knew Dreamcast sold 9.13 million units, but not about the first statement. 

If you mean Mario Kart's data is from this months Nintendo's PR, the 5 million sellers for WiiU is from their PR that I've been archiving. If you mean Dreamcast numbers its from the April 2004 NPD report which I happen to have.

NFL 2K and Crazy Taxi got really to 1m but no dice, only Sawnic did it.

Thank you. But I also meant the Dreamcast lifetime sales, the 9.13 million units figure :p There's this financial report of 2001 from SEGA that says the console sold 8.20 million units until its discontinuation. https://www.segasammy.co.jp/japanese/ir/library/pdf/printing_archive/2001/sega/sega_annual_tuuki_2001.pdf However, if I'm correct, posterior SEGA's reports don't mention the Dreamcast anymore, so I'm struggling to find concrete data. 



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

To be fair, I only said "less than 9.20m" :P

Dreamcasts LTD is all over the place, there's no agreed number and Sega won't tell us how it actually did.

I remember that when you made a thread when Wii U's sales surpassed those ones of Dreamcast you said SEGA's console sold 9.13 million units. I'm not really sure either, but that's why I said it :S

9.16m actually messe up that time, I just stick to that one as its the one that seems the most realistic to me.

Everyone has their milestones.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
