The PS1, PS2, and PS3 all also outsold the NES. How is that really relevant?
In all honesty, I think the sales of the NES, for it's era, are still more impressive than, say, the sales of PS1/2 or Wii, because gaming was becoming far more mainstream and popular by those generations. Back in the 80s, gaming was largely looked down on by mainstream society, it was thought of as something that only kids and "losers" were into. It was akin to a toy. And yet, the NES was a massive success, the best selling video game console of all time until the late 90s or early 2000s. The NES succeeded in spite of the era's stigma against video games and gamers.
