well it is overtracked or just talking about 3rd party million sellers.
How technical is your game?
Here's a thread talking about 73 million sellers at GDC:
http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=65435
So, Iwata at GDC in March says 73 million-sellers, fiscal '09 report says 54 million-sellers by the end of March, and VGC lists 51 games as million-sellers as of late April.
Either Iwata is a dirty, dirty liar, or financials are talking about sellthrough and not shipped.
Edit: Or is it possible that there are 19 downloadable games which have sold a million?

Or maybe Iwata was misquoted or he accidently said 73 instead of 53. I don't think anyone has a recording of his actual wording?

There's no way in hell any WiiWare or VC game has reached a million downloads yet.
I thought the popular explanation was that the 73 number combined Wii and DS sales? I never checked to see how rational that is, but it's what I kept hearing.
There are 91 DS million sellers now, so it wasn't combined.
IGN and some other sites had Iwata saying 70 platinum games on Wii at GDC. I hadn't considered the possibility of downloadable stuff, but it probably was a misquote.
The 54 and 91 figures are listed in text on Nintendo's PDF though.

In that case, I gots nothin'.
PS2 SW shipments + SW production shipments are around 1.45b, and in terms of games bought by stores thats like ~1.3b maybe. Of that, there are about 250 platinum PS2 games.

This is probably going too far back, but do you have the figures for the total worldwide software shipments of the PS2 during its first 30 months?
