Europe: 8.30M

I also think it's going to outsell NES total assuming it never goes off sale.

NA: 35M

Japan: 20M

Should NES mini sales be added to NES sales so it can rightfully outsell the PS1 and PS3 or should it be counted separately?

I dont think so..... its a great item, but one that heavily relies on nostalgia, and you cant sell more units than the original number of people that bought the NES, since they are the ones buying it.

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

i don't think they would have a ton of items produced like that. Hence it won't surpass the original. Does EU would have NES mini or Famicom mini?

It can sell more than the original number if

- you shared the NES with a sibling(s) and now you want one each.

- many people had a choice between either NES or Master System in EU. Everyone played a NES but didn't own one.

- retro factor for today's kids.

I think people are overestimateing how well it will sell.
The games are really dated.... its not for everyone.

In general this comparison is strange. You are comparing a Console to a Christmas gift.

I don't think the NES mini will ever sell that amount because Nintendo isn't going to make that many.

Pretty sure consoles can be used as Christmas Gifts.

How is it any different than selling a console with bundled games? Granted it might be 30 years late but so what?

Nintendo will keep making them until they stop selling, which given how well SMB3 still sells today, might be never.

NES

thanks. I thought Famicom design was the one out in Europe before. anyway NES mini won't outsell NES in EU since there aren't a lot of NES minis to begin with.

It can play Nintendo games.. so it counts as a NES? Wouldn't every ps2 came as a ps1 then? Every Wii U count as a Wii?

Stop being silly. This only plays NES games. If a PS2 only played PS1 games it wouldn't be a PS2 would it?

Consoles can be a christmas gift sure. For those lucky people. There is quite a difference between a $300 console, and a $60 dollar stocking stuffer. You can't add more games, you can't change the games, you don't get to choose the games. You can't call something like that a console.

It has every game that matters and has more games than most NES owners ever had. I think 30 high quality games is more than enough for any console. Besides, just imagine how much it would cost to sell the games on cartridges or the hassle of setting up accounts to buy online.

You have a very.. interesting opinion of this product.

Says the guy who thinks fitting in a stocking determines whether it's a console or not.
