I couldn't find these statistics on VGChartz though I could have sworn they were on here back when you could grab the console data HTML and post it where ever the hell you wanted lol. That's not the point though. The point is, I have all the market shares right here! Enjoy!

Special thanks to the replies from this thread.

Bump.

I didn´t know that Genesis had a market share that big. I always thought that in those days Nintendo had the market share that Sony had with PS1 and 2 (70%)

There were other systems.... but I guess they didn't sold enough to take a big % of teh market share...

During the NES era I had a clone called Phantom System and I played all the NES games on it. I only found about the existence of the real NES years later. Before, I used to think that SNES was the first Nintendo console. :D
