Top 10 best selling videogame consoles

RANK 1 – PlayStation 2 – 157.68 million The PS2 stands mighty as the best-selling console ever. Sony’s gaming giant sold 157.68 million units across 13 years of sale. It made its debut in Japan on 4th March 2000 and was eventually discontinuation on 4 January 2013 – 6 years and 54 days after the PS3 had gone on sale!
RANK 2 – Nintendo DS – 154.90 million Nintendo’s first non-Game Boy branded handheld, had games journalists and Nintendo fans questioning why we needed two screens at all, when the DS was released on 21 November 2004. But its success shows that the gimmick proved its worth in the end.
RANK 3 – Game Boy – 118.69 million Launched in Japan on 21 April 1989, Nintendo’s first handheld console went on to become one of the company’s greatest successes. Contemporary handheld consoles such as the Atari Lynx and the Sega Game Gear might have had colour graphics, but it was the Game Boy’s limited green and black colour palette that gamers bought in their droves – to the tune of 118.69 million units.
RANK 4 – PlayStation – 104.25 million Sony’s first entry into the console market proved that it was the CD-ROM, not the videogames cartridge, was the future of gaming media. The PSOne sold 104.25 million units in its 12-year life span (between 3 December 1994 and 23 March 2006), 71.32 million more units than its primary competitor, the N64.
RANK 5 – Nintendo Wii – 101.64 million Nintendo was on the back foot when it unleashed the Wii, scrabbling as it was to design a console able to compete with the machines of Sony and Microsoft. Its prior two consoles, the N64 and GameCube had disappointed (if not quite tanked) in terms of sales, with the consoles selling 32.93 and 21.74 million units respectively.
RANK 6 – PlayStation 4 – 88.06 million (current) The phenomenon that is the PS4 is the only console in our top 10 that’s still on sale – to date, from its launch on 15 November 2013, the console has racked up an impressive 88.06 million copies. Rumours abound that 2019 could be the year that Sony unveils its inevitable PS5 console, but even so, there’s every chance that the PS4 could continue its charge up this list.
RANK 7 – PlayStation 3 – 86.90 million After a slow start the PS3 saw its fortunes turn around for the better, helped in no small part by Sony equipping it with a built-in Blu-Ray player. The move meant that the PS3 became one of the cheapest Blu-Ray players around, helping Blu-Rays win the format war (against HD DVD) and ensuring that plenty of people bought both a PS3 and a stack of high definition movies.
RANK 8 – Xbox 360 – 85.50 million Microsoft took all of the experience it had gained during the development of the original Xbox and used it to make the Xbox 360 a console that became the must-have machine of its generation.
RANK 9 – Game Boy Advance – 81.51 million The third and final Nintendo handheld to break the top 10 best-selling console list is the GBA, that first saw the light of day in Japan on 21 March 2001. In its 9-year life (between 2001 and 2010) the GBA sold 81.51 million units. The console also ushered in numerous revisions, including the stylish, clam-shelled Game Boy Advance SP that surely had more than passing influence on the GBA’s successor – the Nintendo DS.
RANK 10 – PlayStation Portable – 80.82 million Sony’s PSP was the most powerful handheld console ever released when it went on sale in Japan on 12 December 2004. Its UMD discs were lauded by Sony as being the next big thing in mobile entertainment, though perhaps the company underestimated just how important a role phones and tablets would eventually play in our TV viewing habits.Even so, with 80.82 million units sold, the PSP still became a force in the market, even if UMDs would go the way of the Minidisc.
