<p>Earlier this week Nintendo released their 2013 Annual Report which basically covered how amazingly well the Nintendo 3DS is doing and how appallingly awful the Wii U is doing at the moment.</p>
<p>However, buried in the report Nintendo decided to reveal some pretty impressive sales figures over the past few years which cover the company as a whole. From the NES to the N64, from the Gamecube to the Wii U.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve taken apart the files and put them in the forever simple bullet-point format for your reading pleasure:</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="line-height: 13px;">268.97 Million Hardware Sales (Since the past 30 years since NES was released in Japan)</span></li>
<li>2195.09 Million Software Sales (Since the past 30 years since NES was released in Japan)</li>
<li>385.15 Million Hardware Sales (Since the release of the Game Boy)</li>
<li>1907.25 Million Software Sales (Since the release of the Game Boy)</li>
</ul>
<p>Pretty big numbers eh?</p>
