[I haven't found much data for this, but I'll keep looking]
I'm sure Steve has access to more (and more acurate) data on this, but I'll have a crack, it may be interesting to see industry mistakes made (like releasing the Jaguar, Virtual boy, or 3DO) in terms of sales figure, and how consoles today compare to those of the past. Much of the data appears to be only realy readily available in ($1000+) business reports and the like.
Total sales figures:
NES: 61,780,000
Sega Master System: 13,000,000
Nintendo Gameboy: 118,420,000 (possibly includes color?)
Sega Game Gear: 8,650,000
Atari Lynx:
NEC Turbografx 16: 2,500,000 (est.)
NEC Turbografx CD:
Sega Mega Drive (Genesis): 30,750,000
(Sega CD): 2,500,000 (North America)
(Sega 32X): 50,000-200,000 (est.)
NEC Supergrafx:
SNK Neo Geo:
Nintendo SNES: 49,020,000
Philips CDi:
NEC TurboDuo:
SNK Neo Geo CD:
NEC PC-FX:
Atari Jaguar: 10,000 (est.)
Nintendo Virtual Boy: 770,000
Gameboy Color:
Panasonic 3DO:* 700,000 (est.)
Sony Playstation: 100,000,000
Sega Saturn: 9,260,000
Nintendo 64: 32,930,000
Wonderswan color:
Game Boy Advance / GBA SP: 65,740,000
Nokia N-Gage: 1,300,000
Sega Dreamcast: 10,600,000
Sony Playstation 2: 81,390,000
Microsoft Xbox: 19,900,000
Nintendo Gamecube: 18,030,000
Nintendo DS: 2,840,000
Sony PSP: 510,000
* Panasonic never released any sales figures for the 3DO
Much of this data is hard to come buy (especially the things that sold badly), but I'll keep looking and fill in the blanks when I find more data. |

| | Thanks for this SM, I am sure it will provide a nice base for those doing research in the games industry field too. I can't believe the NES sold that many :p I guess I never thought they had reached that mark with that. I see that the gameboy is still ahead of the game. I wonder if new handhelds will ever see the status of the olden goldies. |

| | The PS2 has easily gone over 80,000,000, and I know the SNES and Genesis numbers are much closer to each other. |
| | | | If you have access to more recent or accurate figures, throw a link in. Many of these figures are taken from trapsing around various websites and cross-referencing all their figures to try and come up with an estimate. Worldwide, thes SNES destroyed the Mega Drive, it was onnly in the US that figures were close. |

80,000,000 shipped to stores maybe, but perhaps not all have sold through to customers yet.
and I know the SNES and Genesis numbers are much closer to each other.
Haha, no they aren't. SNES whipped Mega Drive badly, regardless of what fanboy revisionist history may try to say. Just because Genesis had a good christmas over SNES the first year or two doesn't mean the totals in the end were close. SNES caught up and beat Mega Drive handily. |

| | Funny how despite gaming becoming so called "mainsteam" nowadays, the actual sales figures haven't changed much since the days of the nes. How about some original Atari sales? |
| | | | Going back past the NES would be pretty difficult; there were about a million systems back then, and there's hardly any data for the list as it is. |

| | Oh I just meant the main atari consoles, who cares about the other little shitty ones. |

| I don't know if all this is correct, but many of then are equal to your numbers!
