Well, strictly speaking it is a videogame console, no matter it's cheap price compared to the other offerings. So yeah, it makes sense that it is taken into account.

The NES Classic is $60

The SNES Classic is $80

It is a video game console in a technical sense, but no. I don't think anyone is claiming Nintendo 'won' June because the NES Classic sold the most. They just think it's weird and funny to have what is essentially a 'plug n play' console lead the market in unit sales.

it has to beat last year numbers by 100k for you to win, till August right? I don't see that happening.

Wow, so PS4 is number 1 only in revenue, but not in numbers sold? I saw it doing well, but never expected that well.

PS4 will take July and August? With what?

from the looks of it, PS4 won June mostly because of the Days of Play PS4 console and some momentum carryover from previous month. Both Switch and XBO sales came pretty close since with the Info we have they have to be around 300k each and thus not far behind Sony's console. The PS4 however will not be able to keep that momentum due to a severe drought in the release calendar for this summer, there's nothing really until Spiderman hits the shelves in September. It's actually not impossible for the PS4 to be overtaken by both the Switch and the XBO in those two months. September should go to the PS4, though.

I am not saying it shouldn't be taken into account..... but just going through this thread its almost made out to be some sort of industry defining achievement. Its like when its convenient common sense goes ouut the window. I doubt the PS4/XB1/NS is loosing sales to the NESc.

As you have said its $60 (even less than what I thought it was. So thats basically the cost of one retail game. I can definately see the ease of purchase and value proposition in that. I allso think that should be painfully obvious to everyone. We are comparing $60 hardware+games to $300 boxes? Or even putting them in the same conversation as if they are direct rivals.

This is just me though.... so maybe I am the one seeing things differently.

More interestingly to me though, is how come no one is pointing out that nintendo could also just as easily have released NES/SNES ports for the NS and then the NESc and SNESc wouldn't even need to exist. Its why I see very little sense in sony making a PSc/PS2c when I would rather they just let us pay for a $10 emulator app we can install in our PS4 and then allow everyone download whatever PS1/PS2 game they want from the store.

But Kudos to nintendo though... this is smart business if ever I saw it.

Actually in May-September period. But how you dont see hapenniha, difference is already around  100k and with July and following months difference will be bigger. 

it was april through august, they are now tied. you still need a 100k.
