Nintendo execs: " hmmm we're selling out of $60 consoles that we made sure had no ability to sell games for, and $300 consoles that have $60 games with MORE THAN 100% ATTACH RATE. Which one should we put all our production power into guys?" |
I mentioned this at one point. The NES Classic, although fairly small, in its packaging is probably the size of like 10 Switch games (or 3DS games for that matter). IN terms of retail shelf space it (and probably manufacturing/shipping) its probably a lot more logical to focus on shipping things that cost a lot less to move and that retailers can store in mass easier. when a shelf at a store can hold 100 Switch games or 10 NES classics... all at $60 a pop... you do the math. The NES Classic seems more like a logical seasonal thing when retailers want as much stuff as they can get
