Last week Sony celebrated that more than 500 million PlayStation consoles (home consoles and portables) have been sold around the world since the original PlayStation came to life, announcing the new PS4 Pro limited edition to go along with it, and now we know a bit more about Nintendo's figures, as Gamnesia went to the official website to check the numbers, did the maths, and found out that Nintendo home consoles have also crossed a milestone recently.
Exactly 300.54 million units have been sold as of June 30 (not counting in Virtual Boy), the best-selling of which is undoubtedly the Wii, representing a third of the total amount. The big fail of the bunch is the Wii U, unsurprisingly, but the NES and SNES Classic Editions are out of the sum..
Nintendo lead the video games hardware market by far with 727.65 million units of hardware sold in 30 years thanks to the total dominance of the portable market, with the Nintendo DS family still leading the way with more than 150 million units. Also, Game Boy crossed the 100 million units mark, again unsurprising given its success.
Just as a reminder, here we're talking about units sold, because the list will change under different parameters, like income generated or profitability. Do these numbers surprise you though?
