At this moment, VGChartz has tracked exactly one thousand (1000) million sellers. So I thought I'd serve some statistics.

The average sales for a million seller is currently 2.85 million.
The median is somewhere around 1.9 million.
The PS2 had the most million sellers of any system, with a whopping 214 titles.
Current generation consoles has produced 142 million sellers, compared to last generations total of 292.
The DS tops the current generation with 72 million sellers.
The Xbox 360 tops the current generation consoles, with 60 titles making the list.
Nintendo has 229 titles on the list, averaging 4.7 million per title.

I've been waiting for the number to pass 1000. The list is starting to long to be manageble. I therefore propose a new layout to celebrate this momentous occassion.

And the funny thing about hitting 1000 is it's so easy to calculate percentages!
The PS2 has 21.4% of all million sellers.
The previous generation has 29.2%
The current generation has 14.2%

So, wait? Adjusted for undertracked games, the PS2 has more million sellers than Nintendo has ever published? I consider that impressive.

Very nice!

I wonder how the number would be with all the complete data though...

Haha. That's kinda funny, because I see it the other way around. A single publisher has close to as many million sellers as the most successful console of all time. I think that's kinda impressive. The PS2 is a beast. Simple as that.

Wow that's a lot.

*Does yet another million seller dance*

So there's only 1000 games that sold a million?

How far does the tracking go? Late 80's and Nes rite?

When I joined there were only 814 games that had sold a million. 1000 seems like a lot to me.

Yeah, but the PS2 has been around for 9 years. Nintendo has been making games for around 25 years, and up until the Wii, they were the dominant publisher on all their platforms. Not to mention that publishing a game isn't the same as developing one.

Yes, I see your point. Still, I view it from the other side. I just thought it was kinda funny that we both had the same thought, but from different directions.

By the way, Electronic Arts is, as far as I can tell, the second most successfull publisher, with 129 Million sellers. Or 12.9% of all recorded million sellers in VGChartz history. These numbers are incomplete because they have no recorded million sellers before the Playstation generation. I bet they had a few on Sega Mega Drive as well as Super Nintendo.

Sony has 79, or 7.9%
Microsoft has 20, or 2%
Just for comparison.

Microsoft as publisher should have much more, they can be considered the owner of the oldest console used 'til now: the PC.
