If my maths is correct, on the Gamecube front, I account for close to 11 & 1/2 people as my collection still spans 114 games! I clearly gave at the office.

 My theory is that Nintendo just makes games that sell to so many people the number of pirated copies simply don't matter. There is a set number of people who know how to pirate games and even fewer who are willing to pirate.

So 10 million copies of a game sold + 100,000 pirated copies is OK with outstanding software while

10,000 copies sold + 100,000 pirated copies is terrible.

It's probably why Nintendo has no urge to patch "critical vulnerabilities" on the DS.

Nice numbers, to bad there wasn't someonw like you that knows all the sony numbers

^ not sure how that happened?

This site has all the totals for the playstation systems. http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/data/bizdatatitle_e.html

Wow, great numbers. Very impressive for the GameCube there were more hardcore buyers out there besides myself on that system. I will say the N64 attach ratio surprised me a lot, I thought it would be higher there were some great games on that system. I ended up with about 24 games for the 64.

But man, congrats to the Wii and Nintendo. This thing is going to be a huge software seller over the course of the next 5-7 years. I know I am going to be adding to my Wii collection this holiday.

 Thanks for the website

This is the number of titles which have been released in each region, not actual sales.

DS            406.19m      77.53m          5.239               5.235

GB            501.11m      118.69m        4.222

GBA          376.94m       81.24m         4.640

NES          500.01m      61.91m          8.076

SNES        379.06m      49.1m            7.720

GC           208.56m      21.74m          9.593                9.590

Lifetime estimates for DS:

HW ~ 120m-150m

SW:HW Ratio 5-6 (most top DS titles have now released)

Total DS SW Shipped When It Stops Selling: 600m - 750m

Life Time Estimates for Wii:

HW ~ Unknown but at least 60m by the time things are said and done

SW: HW Ratio at least 6.5 given that Wii has at least 15 million sellers yet to come (GHIV, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Music, Rockband 2, Red Steel 2, Pikmin 3, Animal Crossing Wii, MySims Kingdom, Monster Hunter 3, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, Mario Party 10, Sonic & The Black Knight, Zelda Wii, Rayman 3  the inevitable good sword play Motion-plus game, the inevitable good Star Wars Motion-plus game, the inevitable good Motion-plus boxing game, etc).

Guess:  Final SW: HW ratio ~ 8.5-10

HW ~ 15m-25m J, 30m-60m A, 40-70m O

HW ~ 85m-155m

Total SW ~ 720m-1555m
