Looking at Nintendo's current systems, GBA, DS and GC I believe they're right around PS2 and PSP's numbers and way over XBox.
yup
Worldwide Hardware Sales (End of September 2005)
PS2 - 96.01 million
Xbox - 21.9 million
GameCube - 19.31 million
Game Boy Advance - 70.04 million
Nintendo DS - 8.83 million
PSP - 8.81 million
The figures are shipments (or "sales" to stores) using official manufacturer numbers, not from third party organizations such as NPD, Media Create, Chart Track, etc. Hardware could be sitting in warehouses by the millions!
PS2 + PSP = 113.72 million
GC + DS + GBA = 98.18 million
Again though, with sales charts like this it looks like the PSP has the same installed user base of DS, which it doesn't. And in all fairness, there are some companies still making games for PSX though Sony's first and second parties do not.
