It seems large to me because the NES is such an old product. Using the latest technology you could  produce a console of xbox 360 performance level smaller than that if you removed the disc drive and hard drive and just relied on flash memory. I personally would have prefered it smaller, about a third of the size. I think this would have been even more collectable and desirable.  To be honest they probably could have put all the electronics in the NES controller and done a wireless connection to a hdmi dongle that plugs into the tv.

Sure they could, but a big part of it is that it actually is a NES even though in a new format. It's a part of the thing, the design. Without it it would probably not even sell half as much. People in their 40's or whatever going in the store seeing a NES and they go "wow! look at that" and 3 seconds later it is in their bin after they see what games are included.

It's a perfect design. Everything doesnt have to be micro. This is going to be a hit. 

Basicly, you cant relly make NES Mini in USB or matchbox size, it would be stupid.

And I dont see how can anybody say that NES Mini is large, its basically size of cigarette package, basically can fit in pocket
