If Famiclones, in all of its forms, could be quantified in units sold worldwide, how many do you think that is?
+Showing all 60 replies.
>>
infinite sales.
they are still being sold as we speak.
>>
Probably a lot, maybe twice as many of the real ones.
-t. has an FC Twin
>>
>>12416529
Easily 110 million and that's an ultra conservative take. If we include famiclones that have built in games then it probably rivals or succeeds the PS2.
>>
>>12416616
There has to be 10 million Dendys alone.

>>12416529
Pretty amazing how a console that was outdated by 1983 standards is better than any console today and has better content than any console today.
>>
>>12416931
That's because on-paper specs mean shit and in fact limited hardware bred creativity (as long as devs were good).
Otherwise we would be only olaying modern games.

>a console that was outdated by 1983 standards
Where do zoomers get this stupid shit?
That was state-of-the-art for a console at the time.

This isn't true, shut up. You are wrong.
>>
>>12417000
Lol no. You fucking shut up. It was the most advanced popular console at the time. The only way you can win this is by including arcade games, but we were discussing consoles, you shithead fuck. :)
>>
>>12417026
Faggot getting angry. You are wrong, stop posting. Everyone knows it's true.
>>
>>12417031
You're the FAGGOT who started telling me to shut up, faggot. Go the fuck away. The Famicom/NES reigned supreme in the home console market, you little idiot.
>>
Oh boy I can't wait for this to become a 10 day old thread that boils down to throwing insults at each other! That Apple II thread totally didn't become stale after 3 days!
>>
>>12417041
Listen man take it easy. It's just not true. It's not worth it to get this angry over. go home if you know what's good for you.
>>
>>12417051
>go home if you know what's good for you.
Sounds like a threat. Fuck off.
The Famicom/NES was king. And you know it. you trolling bastard.
>>
Too obvious of a samefag arguing with himself
>>
>>12417082
If only, you're most likely the anon who started trolling me.
That does it, I just need to learn that YouTube comments are more mature and intelligent than any comment here in 2026.
>>
did famiclones take regular non bootleg nes/fc carts?or did they have their own bootleg cart economy?
>>
>>12417098
Both in most cases, e.g., Russia with its Dendy.
>>
>>12416931
Again, outside of arcade hardware, there was really no better game playing device than the Famicom.
>>
>>12417136
Where's the other anon to threaten you now you made a statement of fact?
Come on, faggot, we know you're still here, don't play favorites now.
>>
>>12417047
Nothing stale about laughing at a mentally challenged child who's gonna keep changing the narrative to cope. Only reason it's "stale" is because schizop got banned. Here's hoping this shitthread can be half as entertaining.
>>
>>12417156
I'm the other anon I was just trolling him, I didn't expect everyone to get so offended. I wouldn't consider the Famicom cutting edge though, it was supposed to be affordable.
>>
>>12417243
Anon, I get banned from this entire website for weeks on end just because I stick to the facts here--AS STATED IN THE GOD DAMNED
RULES.
That's why I'm acting this way, fucktard.
Am I fitting in you faggnutty, cunty. dimwitted wastes of life?
>>
The Internet shall be renamed by me at this time NOW! And thine name shall be:
Sperg Bitch. That's right. Everything about how anons reply and react is like a sperg bitch now, same for every other website due to sperg bitch rules because sperg bitches can't cut it in real life so they become "mods".
>>
So mcfuckin ban me from /vr/ forever you want, Mr. Sperg Bitch janny-troon-mod who obviously hates life and wants everyone to feel the same.

/vr/--fuck you.
>>
AND I just realized that the entire point of this website now is to make MOAR sperg bitches.
Yes, I get it. You want me to join.
no, fuck you.
So go ahead and ban me NIGGERS.
I'll fucking read and comment on youtube where the intelligence points are higher than the room temperature.
>>
>>12417243
>I wouldn't consider the Famicom cutting edge though

It was tough, problably the most advanced console relative to it's release date after the Neo geo

https://youtu.be/SX6TfcIy0_s?si=4BLFgXBHEHhBGjwC mog hard the SG 1000 released the exact same day
>>
>>12417249
Yeah that mod seems super ass hurt all the time (respectfully and in a friendly manner pls dont ban).
>>
>>12417261
I sincerely pray that God's plan is for him to suicide.
But you know what, the regular anons are just as bad now usually, so fuck it. Delete the board. We should meet up in garages only and anyone who "doesn't get" 1980s humor gets beat the fuck up and tossed into a ravine, deal?
>>
>>12416549
Based midwit, reselling existing units doesn't increase the amount of units sold.
>>
It's been estimated that in China alone the most popular Famiclone sold at least 1 million units. That's not taking into account the dozen other Famiclones available in that country; in a country where the average joe has (had?) to save up for an entire year to afford one.

>>12417267
Show me the post that got you b&
>>
>>12417343
>Show me the post that got you b&
I don't save my bans in screenshots, at least not usually. I did save the last few because they were so unfair that they didn't even bother me. It's like the Jews that run the place decided to stop pretending anymore.
Anyway, the last post that got me banned (here comes another ban then!) was mentioning Mike Matei, which is totally against the rules, unlike posting pics of real guns and Seinfeld TV show screenshot, which, again, is totally in the realm of classing gaming.

tl;dr I'm not digging through my screenshot folder, nigger.
P.S. I've decided to be rude until you fucks experience even more of it from others because what I do RIPPLES.
>>
*I* am the trend-setter, not you, so fuck this place.
FUCK THIS PLACE.
>>
>>12417346
Oh ok then, glad to know mods still b& retards at least once in a blue moon
>>
>>12417349
Great post. You must be rich and fuck your wife while jacking off niggers.
>>
POST MORE SEINFELD, you motherfucking pieces of shit. That's classic gaming!
>>
>>12417098
>>12417098
The mold was the same but communication could be different (for example flash carts don't work at all on these unless there's a specific one made for the clones)
And also there's issue of Japanese releases being in 60hz where as most of these clones targeted 50hz markets
>>
>>12417000
Which console was state-of-the art for 1983? PC is invalid btw.
>>
>>12417321
They still make famiclones you midwit
>>
MR. GORVACHEV, TEAR DOWN THIS THREAD!
>>
>>12417582
But Hasselhoff isn't here yet, sir.
>>
>>12417059
you people are weird
you're both right, in a way
the famicom was the most advanced console, but mostly because all other attempts at creating home consoles were half hearted and meant to be cheap toys for children
looking at general consumer computing, the famiclon was extremely outdated, but then we're comparing it with serious general computing devices
>>
>>12417691
No, I am right and you both are wrong; the Famicom/NES blew every other home console away.
>>
Are there any good modern famiclones with HDMI output and built in flashcart?
I have a SNES and like playing on original hardware but the NES seems like a big console and I don't really have the space and I don't want to buy yet another flashcart
>>
Do clone consoles count?
>>
>>12416529
Dendy has official numbers around 6 Million and that's the most notable but there's gotta be dozens of them that have sold 10s or 100s of thousands of units each. I'd probably guess all-time worldwide around 25 Million.

>>12417321
I could drive to a local Walmart and buy a Famiclone in a shitty approximation of an Atomic Purple Game Boy in the checkout aisle for 10 burger dollars right now.
>>
>>12418049
I just mean Famiclones, but yeah there were a lot of MD clones too.
>>
>>12418034
The clones with HDMI are pretty shit. NES is old enough that you're better off with a console that outputs composite and a $40 RetroScaler 2X line doubler.
>>
>>12417321
They still make brand new ones, idiot.
>>
>>12417343
>in a country where the average joe has (had?) to save up for an entire year to afford one.
This was never the case.
>>
>>12418049
The first time I played on a Genesis it was actually a Super Senga
>>
>>12416529
Even my wife had one growing up in China, which is surprising considering how much more strict it used to be back in those days. I've also heard that there was a rebranded version sold in Russia (called the Dendy or something like that). So I imagine the numbers are quite high.
>>
>>12416529
I don't have an answer for you, but I just had a curious thought that this thread probably would've gotten deleted in pre-hack /vr/. Honestly I'm loving /vr/'s new staff.
>>
Clone consoles are absolutely based and redpilled

>>12416529
I mean, you would need to specify what is a famiclone and what's not. If we count all the Funstations, weird shits without cartridge slots but pre-loaded games, Famiclone-like handhelds and other memes... well that's a lot.
Any poorfag region had or still has them and they are produced since like mid-90s. Most of them were obviously unlicensed and sold on various bazaars and chinkshops so there's literally no official numbers.
Half of a billion sounds very retarded but desu I would not be surprised if it's close. We talk about shit that for years was flooding pretty big chunk of Asia, Europe, Africa, Latinx America etc.

Also, how we count the high-quality modern reproductions? They technically are "famiclones" but obviously are produced with completely different mindset and for different people. They also add few thousands.

So tl;dr answer is "a fucking lot", with no possibility to even guess the real number.
>>
>>12421641
So are you going to complain that you can buy brand new clone hardware in 2026? Are you tarded or reseller?
>>
>>12421685
>So am I going to cope because I'm a poor underage brownie?
In spades.
>>
>>12422045
>Can't afford 100$ or less
Uh huh. But what if I specifically want a NEW system, not a used one.
