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

Updating Stats
