By 6/8/1989...NES was in "37% of all Japanese households"
Japan in 1989 had ~123m people. With probably 35m-45m households.
.37 * 35m = 12.95m
.37 * 45m = 16.65m
Earlier, there is a link from 12/4/1988 in te NYT that said NES was at '13m in Japan'. So maybe 13.15m to 13.45m by the end of 1988. NES only did 19m in Japan...so 16.65m by June 1989 is likely too high, but 12.95m is too low. Cut it in half and you get...14.3m-14.8m maybe?
