Nintendo’s Mini NES Classic Edition is one of the hottest tech items this Christmas and it’s been nearly impossible to find as a result. Now, thanks to a new report, we have an idea just how many consoles Nintendo has sold: Nearly 200,000 Classic NES systems thus far in America alone. The Wii U is estimated to have sold just 220,000 units in the last six months, which means a 30-year-old game console is blowing out Nintendo’s most recent living room platform. Nintendo is fond of arguing that specs alone don’t make great games, but the company probably didn’t plan to make that point in quite such dramatic fashion.
