This month’s NPD report is in, and it brings along some impressive news for the NES Classic Edition. In the United States last month, the hardware sold 196,000 units.

The NES Classic Edition would have undoubtedly sold more had more stock been put on store shelves. Nintendo has had a difficult time keeping up with demand, but has promised to ship more units leading into 2017.

Unlike Pokemon GO, Super Mario Run isn’t entirely free-to-play. You’re able to play a bit of the game before you pay $10 to unlock everything it has to offer. Having said that, a big question people have wondered about is how Super Mario Run will be received, and how well it will sell.

In America, it’s currently the seventh top-grossing iPhone app (Pokemon GO is at the fifth spot in case you’re curious). And in the UK, the title is #2, just behind Pokemon GO. Super Mario Run is off to a strong start – at least so far.
