Retail analyst NPD Group released the slightly delayed industry report for the period between June 3 and July 7, which tracks hardware and software numbers by both unit and and dollar sales. Unsurprisingly, at $400 compared to the NES Classic’s $60, Sony’s PlayStation 4 held its position at the top of dollar sales. However, the NES Classic sold more units than any other console for the month. This marks a first for the NES Classic as well as for any NES hardware since NPD began tracking video games in 1988, three years after the Nintendo Entertainment System’s original North American release.
Depending on the location, it may be a challenge finding a store with the NES Classic in stock, but it isn’t impossible. Nintendo hasn’t yet announced plans to stop making the best-selling console, and reports of its availability at various outlets pop up sporadically.
The NES Classic is popular for a reason; some of its included games are considered to be among the finest ever made, but that doesn’t mean it has everything. Check out our picks for the five greatest games the NES Classic is missing.
The NES Classic is currently available at select retail stores and online.
