Forums - Sales - Video Game Console sales since first generation.

The excel file in my sig has some numbers for the main consoles from the last 4 generations. It doesn't have all the generations though. It breaks it down by market, percent of market, and then does some comparisons between the generations. I'm going to update it one of these days because I haven't updated the numbers for a while.

Have fun.


 Thanks. It seems the market has increased significantly. 



I can tell you that the Intellivision sold 6M units -- 3M on its first-run and 3M on its re-run.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Found this on Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_game_consoles

It is mostly post-crash data. It does not list the Intellivision sales for example.
It does list the Atari 2600 at 30M LTD sales.
There are also some citations to other articles.

PS -- I would be interested in seeing that information when completed. I will continue to check to see what I can find. I have posted previously here on Intellivision software sales and other classic gaming matters.

Link to a Game Pro article entitled "10 Worst Selling Consoles of All Time"
-- well, if all-time started in 1985. 8*>

For comparison, Wikipedia reports that the Odyseey 2 sold 1M in NA alone -- and was even more successful in the EU and BR.

That's 1M mark is 4x what the Atari Jaguar sold.
