Well the Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, Wii, and PlayStation 4 were the fastest selling consoles in their respective times, but I can't find a top 10 list.

yea, thanks anyway. Was going to make a top 10 list actually myself but there's some mixed sources, some companies didn't reveal how many units they sold in a week for example. It'll take me a lil while to find a way of raking them i guess

Yeah, this kind of info is hard to get hold of, especially for older consoles.

I believe the PS4 is the fastest selling console to date. At least in the UK I think it was.

It was in launch window, but it has since fallen behind the PS2 and Wii.

It's interesting though. I mean, PS2, Wii, and PS4 are by far the most successful console launches. It gets a lot harder to tell after that. No other consoles have sold anywhere close to what those 3 did in their first year, as far as I know.

It depends what period you count as the launch period. The Wii U had a staggeringly good opening. They sold 3.5 million in the first month, and it took them nearly 2 years to sell the next 3.5 million.

The Playstation on the other hand, despite ending up smashing all sales records for consoles, was a very slow burn.
