Silly Atari people.

The NES' lifespan was 1983 - 2007. 10 year plans are for wimps.

More important than support is the steady release of games. What was the last year the NES saw a steady release of games (say, at least 4 games per month)?

In what country?  Certain eastern countries still have them for sale with games and the like.  Just because they haven't been on a shelf in a US Walmart for a decade doesn't mean they haven't been on retail shelves of other countries possibly even with region specific games.

My question would be for Japan/Western countries, as those other countries likely got it late and maybe without new games being released.
