   That “at least” 849 million shots fired in Duck Hunt is pretty silly as the game sold nearly 30 million, so people only fired 30 shots per game bought?

      Yeah, those figures were kinda dumb, impossible to verify and ultimately not very interesting to be honest.

   77212.7 metric tons… so the weight of the NES is known to six significant figures. Apparently. (As is the number of units sold.)

   Sometime I wonder if anybody in the media paid any attention in high school maths when they covered significant figures and how to incorporate error margins. Vsauce at least should know better.

   So the amount of RAM in every NES ever sold is equal to the amount of RAM in every WiiU ever sold. Wow!

   (I love my Wiiu)
