I have sales figures for Commodore 64 (C64) and Amiga, as released by
Commodore before they went bust.

Concerning the C64, it holds the "Guinness Book Of Records" (not sure,
which edition) record for best-selling computer of all-time with
estimated sales of 30 million from 1982 till 1993.

> B) Apple II series

Again, I got a brochure from Apple computer which estimates sales of 5
million Apple II's covering 1977 till 1993. Everything else, would be
far below that, largely due to a shorter product lifespan.
