Forums - Sales Discussion - The NES Classic outsold the PS4 and the Xbox One in April 2017 (US)

I'm mainly surprised that the stores still had enough inventory to sell that many! Since it seems like most people couldn't find one to buy!

Maybe Sony and MS are creating artificial demand...

60M PS4s...

62M NES..... and the gap just got bigger.

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!

And then they go ahead and stop production...

Well, I didn't really like Lawlight's post either, but the NES Classic is not an NES, it's an NES emulator, so its sales shouldn't really count towards the original NES.



I can't believe such a thing could happen. I would have laughed if it sold more than wII u's lifetime sales if it wasn't discontinued

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

It's still kinda weird that a discontinued emulator is still able to beat even the PS4, especially when it had a big title in Persona 5 and is still riding off the success of Horizon and Nier



Damn, that lil grey box beat big time modern day consoles. I never expected that to happen. If only they continued selling that darn thing.

If it looks like a NES and plays like a NES.........

Well, it doesn't really play like an NES, as the NES has completely different architecture.

You can't expect Nintendo to use 30yr old, useless, outdated technology, they're not communists.
