Judging from dates of the latest references, it seems to date from end of january 2010, so by some aspects it is indeed a little bit obsolete. Especially, now the number of iPhones sold (to be accurate, to the end of 2010) is 90 millions (and that’s without counting iPod Touches and iPads…)

some of those “unknown facts” are actually more well known then people think, i dont remember which issue it was (was bout 10 years ago) but in Nintendo Power they actually made a timeline of the company and mentionned quite a few of the facts like the origins of the company, the meaning of the word nintendo, and Miyamoto’s involvement in the company and so on.

It mentions Sonic the Hedgehog, Halo, and Mortal Kombat as relations, even though there are franchises bigger than those to compare (for example: The Final Fantasy Series)….
The NES stack height statistic seems unprecedented (was that also how many cartridges were made?)….
Why use a Mario card? Why not use on of Nintendo’s cards? (Hanafuda, anyone?)
Who did this research? it’s too incomplete. It doesn’t seem to prove or disprove anything, even though it’s written that way.

I was thinking that but then decided it was because they were just putting the latest generation consoles on there that have had similar times to sell over and are in direct competition.

True, and I’d agree if they wouldn’t have posted the sales of the ps3 and 360 on it.
