A little milestone that people have not noticed - the PS4 has outsold the NES

[Soundwave]

I remember reading that the NES was at one point in like 1/3 or 1/4 of every US household by the early 1990s ... that's pretty insane.

Nintendo didn't give any fucks about the Euro market back then, reviving the game industry in the US and creating a sensation in Japan was good enough for them at that time, but that was effectively a much smaller market they were dealing with because of that.
