Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 10 Comments
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.
