In the PS2 era, five games topped 10m units for PS2, and two games topped 10m for GBA. Over the entirety of the 1990s, about the same number of games topped 10m. The figures don't change if you look for multi-platform hits either. Capcom's original Street Fighter II sold about 8m in the 1990s as a multi-platform game, Need for Speed and Madden routinely reached 6-9m units in the PS2 era (Madden still sells about the same amount as in the PS2 era most of the time), but nothing else was particularly close to reliably reaching 10m units or more.
