Why are you like this?

This is stuff that literally takes three minutes to look up, as a 'journalist' are you not supposed to be able to do research?

I'm curious, what do you believe that links shows? Has any game system ever sold as much as Nintendo NES? Adjusted for inflation? NES sales were so high they might hold up even not adjusted for inflation. Do you have anything at all? At some point I'm not going to follow your links if you can't tell me in your own words what they mean and why they support your argument.

Take a look at the NES "Classic," the remake of the original with 30 original games built it. Why do you suppose that happened? Because the other games were doing so well? I don't think so. They were trying to recapture that huge market they once had.

The table at the bottom is your clue:

1982 42 Billion (adjusted for inflation)

2017 116 Billion

NES is not even in the top 5 consoles.

the reason they brought out the NES classic was so that people of my generation would be able to have a nostalgia kick. Precisely because video games do so well and now more than anticipated in the older demographics (as my generation grows up) they knew they would have a seller on their hands.

They are trying to capture the market they once had, but to supplement the much larger profits they are already making on consoles.

Tell me do you read anything prior to making these wild claims?
