Actually I would have guessed less than a million units, so that sounds about right.

There were about 3 million Intellivisions and 2 million Colecovisions sold, and I'm sure the Vectrex never sold as many units as those two systems.

I saw a new format today from a post on Facebook:

"The model is 3000-A1 Australia, serial number is 013518A and made in Taiwan."

so that would be

0 xxx xxA Made in Taiwan

Can anyone confirm?
