The Nintendo Entertainment System varies quite a bit with its Famicom counterpart. For instance, the Nintendo Entertainment System had detachable controllers, while the Famicom's controllers were unable to be removed, the Famicom was smaller and much less bulky than the NES, and the colors are also changed: the Famicom has red and white coloring, while the NES has a grey and black coloring. The Nintendo Entertainment System was sold in a special pack that included ''Super Mario Bros.'', which resulted in Super Mario Bros. being the record-holder for most copies sold worldwide, which is over 40 million. During its lifetime, the Nintendo Entertainment System had sold over 61 million units. This console had also saved the gaming industry from the ''Video Game Crash of 1983''. | The Nintendo Entertainment System varies quite a bit with its Famicom counterpart.
