  3. ↑ Nintendo only provided a combined sales total. [3] Before Game Boy Color's release in late 1998, [2] previous models sold 64.42 million units combined worldwide. [4]
  4. ↑ Microsoft announced in October 2015 that individual platform sales in their fiscal reports will no longer be disclosed. The company shifted focus to the amount of active users on Xbox Live as its "primary metric for success". [9] Monthly active Xbox Live users reached nearly 90 million by Q3 2020. [10] Xbox 360: Production ended in 2016; 84 million in total lifetime sales. [11] Xbox One: Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella unveiled at a December 3, 2014, shareholder presentation that 10 million units were sold. [12] Most third-party estimates put the total number of Xbox One units sold by the end of 2019 at "around 50 million". [13] Market data and analytics firm Ampere Analysis Insights estimated the Xbox One had sold 51 million units by Q2 2020. [14] Microsoft announced on July 17, 2020, that they would cease manufacturing the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition and Xbox One X, though production of the Xbox One S would continue. [15]
  5. ↑ Including Game Boy Advance SP and Micro units
  6. ↑ 30.75 million sold by Sega worldwide as of March 1996, [17] [18] not including sales of third-party licensed consoles from manufacturers such as Majesco Entertainment in the United States (which projected it would sell 1.5 million) [19] or Tec Toy in Brazil (listed separately)
  7. 1 2 Game Gear

  9. ↑ Designed by Hudson and manufactured and marketed by NEC [31]
  10. ↑ Bandai released three WonderSwan iterations. [42] A March 2003 Famitsu article reported the original (March 1999) [43] and color (December 2000) [43] versions sold approximately 3 million units combined, [44] while the SwanCrystal (July 2002) [42] sold over 200 thousand units. [44] Bandai announced the transition from hardware to third-party development in February 2003 due to declining sales and would supply software to Nintendo's Game Boy Advance by March 2004. [45] Average weekly Famitsu sales during the transition were only a couple hundred units, [1] and the SwanCrystal went build to order starting in autumn 2003. [44] WonderSwan hardware designer Koto claimed over 3.5 million were sold. [46]

  14. ↑ Includes Quest 3S sales
  15. ↑ Coleco launched Telstar in 1976 and sold a million. Production and delivery issues, and dedicated consoles being replaced by electronic handheld games dramatically reduced sales in 1977. Over a million Telstars were scrapped in 1978, and it cost Coleco $22.3 million that year [57] —almost bankrupting the company. [68]
  16. ↑ This Philips-reported figure was in The New York Times on September 15, 1994. [70] The CD-i was discontinued in 1998. [71]
