Curiosity got the best of me this morning, and I wandered into my local Wikipedia library for unofficial numbers on the best selling video game systems of all time. According to the wisdom of the crowd, they are as follows:
- PlayStation 2 (Sony) — 140 million
- Game Boy (Nintendo) — 119 million
- PlayStation (Sony) — 102 million
- DS (Nintendo) — 96 million
- Game Boy Advance (Nintendo) — 81 million
- NES (Nintendo) — 62 Million
- PlayStation Portable (Sony) — 50 million
- SNES (Nintendo) — 49 million
- Wii (Nintendo) — 45 million
- N64 (Nintendo) — 33 million
Combined, Nintendo and Sony really clean up, don’t they?
