The iPhone 6 Alone Outsold Every Game Console Ever Made

DATA · WHAT COUNTS AS A COMPUTER The iPhone 6 Alone Outsold Every Game Console Ever Made iPhone 6 One generation, not the lineage ~222M Outsold every console on chart 1 PlayStation 2 One console generation 160M Nintendo Switch OLED/Lite share the generation 155.9M Nintendo DS DS Lite shares the generation 154.0M SS Samsung Galaxy S4 2013's flagship, alone ~70M C= Commodore 64 Serial numbers and Commodore's filings agree ~12.5M Apple II Legitimized the "personal computer" ~6M Solid bars are company-disclosed (Sony, Nintendo). iPhone 6's 222M and Galaxy S4's 70M trace only to unsourced web estimates, not any named research firm — the softest numbers on this chart. Commodore 64's 12.5M is the best-evidenced figure, from two independent methods (serial-number statistics and Commodore's own annual reports); rival claims of 22–30M trace to Jack Tramiel's own decades-later recollection and don't survive a check against primary sources.
