Nintendo has sold an earth-shattering total of 727.65 million gaming devices since 1983, according to new lifetime figures published on its IR website (via GI.biz).

The figures confirm that the format giant has flogged 300.54 million home consoles and 427.11 handheld systems, with the DS currently its best-selling system ever with just over 154 million units moved worldwide.
