I'm extremely curious if all 3 could potentially have retail availability simultaneously. I think they could pull it off since each unit appeals to slightly different demos.
NES-Baby Boomers and Gen X
SNES-Gen X and 80's born millenials
N64-80's and 90's millenials
And then of course there's overlap, I grew up playing all 3 personally.
I'm also curious of the profit margin on these units, I know their intent is to bring brand awareness to Nintendo but I doubt they're just breaking even. Thats not Nintendo's style.
