Link to the answer which found the Scully video

Surely Scully would quote the biggest number he could for the installed base, so I presume his 6 million figure in 1990 would include international sales. | |

| Aug 1, 2023 at 2:00 | comment | added | Raffzahn | @NickWestgate Not so sure. Apple had made good sales in Europe. Apple Germany for example enjoyed a rather large office building in Munich (within city limits!) during Apple II+/IIe times that would need more than a few sales per month to cover rent... | |
| Aug 1, 2023 at 1:50 | comment | added | Nick Westgate | @Raffzahn: Indeed. The sources I looked at don't mention foreign versions, and I guess that would only change things by a few percent - at least in the early days. I presume the IIgs 1 million limit is global, but a potentially big variable might be international IIe numbers. | |

Remove Paul's details as now Tony Bogan has the highest serial - I'll just maintain the doc.

Added a note about when Mac sales eclipsed Apple II sales.

Revised II/II Plus data by considering new referenced source.

| Mar 19, 2017 at 22:02 | comment | added | Nick Westgate | @BrianH: Yes, you should read Reimer's (rather long) article, or at least Low End Mac's take on it - "Apple Has Always Been a Niche Player". | |
| Mar 19, 2017 at 16:00 | comment | added | Brian H | Shocked at these low numbers. I believe that the C64/C128 alone sold 14 million. | |
| Jan 5, 2017 at 10:16 | comment | added | Nick Westgate | It would be interesting to know, but there's not much info out there. | |
| Jan 3, 2017 at 18:30 | comment | added | cbmeeks | Excellent answer. Now, how about including the numbers sold by licensed and un-licensed clones. :-D Like Bell & Howell, Laser 128, etc. The Russian clones would probably be impossible to account for. | |
