It’s just behind the PS2 and Nintendo DS right now with 143 million units sold.

    To be fair, the Xbone released after gaming had made its way into the mainstream. Those old Nintendo consoles are from an era when gaming was still considered by most to be a child’s pursuit, so they had much smaller audiences.

      I know, but its still funny that the XBOne sold more than iconic N64 and Gamecube combined. I know this has to be seen in context, that’s why I said “just for furn”. Also this brings into perspective how insane the PS2 sold, where gaming was in less mainstream position than today. It was Sony with the PS1 and 2 who made gaming mainstream. The PS3 came out 6 years after the 2, while the Switch has a longer period of time without its successor (currently 7, we enter in 8th) and still could not catch up. It’s crazy how the PS2 sold.
