Now we got the crash in quotes, ehh?
The industry was in such poor shape that Nintendo had to release the NES with A ROBOT so people would not notice it was a video game console.
You're not talking dates. But we got two posts of "THE NES CAME OUT IN 83 IN JAPAN!"
And Guns n Roses, etc, okay, okay, okay.
I still think the argument for the NES as a classic is reasonable. Just not reasonable in the manner that YOU are presenting it.
