I'm picking up a strong subtext here.

Well for fucks sake. I reread the games that come with this and I now need to get it from Amazon.

It might sell well, but it'll just be clutter in most peoples houses (I wish it had wireless controllers). It could never be that big?

It has some good (and great) games on it, but it misses most of the key NES games of my childhood, as I'm sure it will for many looking to it for a nostalgia kick... which is a real (and frustrating) shame because I kind of want one. :(

I can see it now in huge piles sitting in every gadget shop and people picking it up as a Xmas present. If they market it right it can sell millions!

It would be funnier if it outsold WiiU's lifetime sales (in the NES Classic's lifetime obviously not necessarily during the coming holiday period).

How much was it the official USA price again? I recall it was much lower than the 80 euros they charge here.

That would make me smile. It would be like getting in a time machine and going back to my childhood.

I'm actually considering one myself since the price turned out to be a lot more reasonable than it appeared when first announced.

Then Nintendo will have to start releasing more games compatibile for this and the original NES

Not gonna happen but it would be hilarious if it did.
