If Sony is referring to the home-console market, which I assume it is, then the statement is correct. (The Atari 7800 wasn't the successor to the Atari 2600; the 5200 was.)Originally Posted by stonic

So which thread to believe? The 74 million PS2s sold thread or this one cliaming 100 mil?
And is PS2 is at 100 wouldn't PSX/one be somewhere around 110 mil?

The 74-million thread was started more than a year ago. The PS2 has reached the 100-million mark in the year between that thread and this one. The old thread was correct, and the new one is correct.Originally Posted by kevin_psx
Speaking of that old thread, perhaps you missed my question there, so I'll repeat it here: where did you get your Nintendo hardware sales figures, which led you to erroneously claim that the N64 and GameCube had sold as many systems as the NES and SNES?
As for the PSone, no, it wouldn't be at 110 million because Sony's and the retail world's marketing efforts are focused on the PS2, Xbox, and GameCube. The PSone's broadcast day is over. A previous-gen console isn't going to sell ten million systems four years after being superceded by new hardware. Why would you think any different?

PS1 hasn't reached the end of its cycle. Its still selling as the white-colored version & likely sold another 10 million since 2003.Originally Posted by zmweasel
I was wrong about the GameCube - it only sold 20 million so far.Originally Posted by myself
Between 1985-91 NES sold about 30 million. Same amount as SNES. Same amount as the N64. My source for these figures are too many to list - Newsweek, NPD, digitpress.com, this forum, and other articles.

While your sentence is written in a such a way that you're claiming the NES, SNES, and N64 all sold about 30 million units between 1985 and 1991, I'm guessing that what you meant is that each of those systems sold 30 million units in its first six years of existence. I don't know offhand if this is the case or not, but I suspect you're incorrect. Is this the claim you were trying to make in your earlier post, and I misunderstood, or is this a different claim?Originally Posted by kevin_psx
Also, could you cite just one or two specific sources for any of your numbers? I don't need a list, just one or two. I've yet to find a single source that backs your statements, so I'm hoping you can help me out.
