[edit] Annual Reports
If anyone can find the annual reports for Nintendo (from the early to mid 1990's) or Sony and Microsoft (specifically for the game divisions - any time period), those would be extremely helpful in more accurately determining system sales. Most of the Nintendo hardware sales are based on Annual Reports and thus are extremely accurate. Zomic13
[edit] Updating Stats
When updating stats, please remember to update them in both places (under the company's listing and in the Total Sales Ranking). Thanks! Zomic13
[edit] Explanation of GBA Sales
By combining the previously cited GBA sales data from the Nintendo Annual Report with weekly Japanese hardware sales and NPD monthly North American figures, a more accurate sales figure can be obtained. The collected data is displayed below.

[edit] Sega's Systems
What is the source for any of this information? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.198.239.14 (talk) 07:55, 11 January 2007 (UTC).

- Sega System Figures could use some serious help. The figures that are present are from the individual Wikipedia pages for those systems. Unfortunately many of these figures were not cited on the system's article page either, which is why they are not cited here. If anyone can find figures for any of Sega's consoles from a reliable source, please update them here. Zomic_13 22:45, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Atari and Sony
From the source given for some of Sega's sales information, I found some interesting information on the Atari 2600. According to this, http://images.businessweek.com/ss/06/10/game_consoles/source/3.htm, the Atari 2600 sold over 30 million units. Since this topic lists the best-selling consoles, wouldn't this be worth adding because the sales are higher than some of the systems here?
Also found there at, http://images.businessweek.com/ss/06/10/game_consoles/source/14.htm, are updated shipping information for the PlayStation 2. There's updated shipping information for the PSP there, too. http://images.businessweek.com/ss/06/10/game_consoles/source/19.htm —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.198.239.14 (talk) 12:06, 4 February 2007 (UTC).
