The NES Classic Edition outsold the PlayStation Classic in the US, according to NPD analyst Mat Picatella. It was also the best-selling Plug N Play system in December and 2018. It also outsold every PlayStation 4 and Xbox SKU. Only the Nintendo Switch 32GB Neon Red/Blue Joy Con SKU sold more units.
Had a few questions on Plug N Play - The NES Classic Edition was the best-selling Plug N Play system of December and 2018. Only the Switch 32GB Neon Red/Blue Joy Con item sold more units of hardware in 2018 than the NES Classic Edition.

Love my NES Classic. Well deserved. I might flash it one day.
So in other words, over 900K NES classic sold in December? That's amazing how well it sells
How u got to that conclusion?
Only Neon-colored Switch sold better, so it must have outsold everything else, including Xbox One sales, which sold around 900K
From what i understand from the tweet i sold better than every sku aside from neon switch,however it's not stated that it outsold the one s and x combined so it isn't safe to say it sold 900k units, but It's a possibility.
That is how understood it to @Shore
It specifically said SKU. Soooo based on individual SKU it did outsold everything except the Neon. Which I assume is still a huge number.
In any case, can't be far below 900K, if not for XBO then due to the Gray Switch
What a Classic
Bravo.
wow
