Nintendo sold 49.1 million units of SNES consoles during the pandemic year – as of November 2021. But in the early 19990s, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) made the record of selling 50 million units worldwide. Although SNES was the second variation of the Japanese version, called the Super Famicom. But even then, the SNES consoles got immense success in North America and other European regions.
