You missed the N2DS XL. It's at #9 now.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

This month is going to be super close between PS4 & Switch... going by amazon listings.
I think Switch takes it by a tiny bit.

People rather have a NES that plays 30year old games, than a new PS4 I guess...

Nintendo is laughing all the way to the bank, the insides of that NES mini probably cost them less than 20$ to make.

(a rasberry pie is plenty to emulate a nes)

Controller, wire, box are probably all pretty cheap too, nintendo is makeing mad cash on each sale of these.

Nintendo isn't selling these.  They aren't making a dime on these sales, these are resellers.  So Nintendo isn't laughing to anywhere.

And if I were to guess, they make $15 to $20 absolute tops on the NES.  It's not just the system, they had to license those 3rd party games.  And then there's all the little things that add up: fabricating the case, assembly, shipping, the retailer's cut.  The NES made profits obviously but not the insane ammounts people think.
