Question no one is asking…

We know NES Mini was always sold out. SNES Mini will sell very strongly too.

Now here is my question for the delightful reader. *Ahem*

Delightful reader!

“Yes?” yawns the reader.

If basic NES and SNES games constantly sell out today, can we correlate that such market hunger was a large part of why the Wii sold?

*The reader blinks.* “I never thought of that possibility.”

I bought the Wii mostly for the Virtual Console. I can’t be the only one.

“But I think you correlate things you wish to be true.”

Oh, what a saucy reader! Let us try this: the NES Classics line for GBA sparked strong software and hardware sales.

“It cannot be denied.”

Then we must assume that these classic digital re-releases ARE moving the hardware in significant volumes.
