Forums - Sales - One thousand million sellers!

The reason why i thought that only 1000 million sellers sounded so little is because we're talking about 2 decades of gaming, consoles and handhelds, all game genres, muliplatform versions are counted individually etc.

And I was thinking in my head, 'Tomb Raider... TR had like 5 or 6 sequels, and with multiplatform versions that franchise alone easily must have more than 10 million sellers, meaning that Tomb Raider alone is 1% of all million sellers in gaming' (nothing against Tomb Raider)?

I gotta go and check on TR how many million sellers it got.

I would very much doubt that 1000 is the correct number, and I would think that VGChartz has missed a lot of them. But if you think about it, 1000 in twenty years is 1 per week. More or less. It's not actually a small number, even if it seems like it.

But yes, it seems too little.

Good, thinking "one million seller per week" is a better way to picture yourself the number in your head (did that make any sense?) instead of my Tomb Raider example.

One per week sounds more realistic and makes sense, since there are usually no more than a handful of console games released every week.

How long before we get a billion seller?

Impressive, and I bet that the PS2's list could grow at least to 280 if tracked correctly ;) But still probably this site doesnt lists at least 200 million sellers, and thats not counting PC games, that, lets be honest, at this point on its pretty much uncountable ;)

PS2 list is allot bigger and probably close to 300.

No. It's not. Count it yourself. It says 214.

I think it will take time to see the first 1 billion seller, i think it's possible if we had the gaming market very big worldwide, the first 100 million seller will probably be wii sports, and even wii fit if gets price cuts with time.

Can u see any trends? I mean specifically how this gens consoles, at what point in time are they getting their million sellers.

Let's say the X360 has 60 million sellers, how many of those were reached in the last 12 months? That would be interesting to know, and thus be able to calculate if it has the chance to beat the PS2 eventually.

Or more realistically, see if the Wii has that chance.

It's pretty obvious that he meant if we had correct numbers for the PS2, then it'd be close to 300...
