A shame no one wants it. (Nintendo had trouble at launch due to the recent crash. They did lots of tactics to convince retailers its a toy and not a video game. See R.O.B. as an example)

The issue was convincing retail stores to actually purchase and stock units, people were plenty into it once it actually hit the market.

Retailers were hesitant at first according to the Gaming Historian's documentary.
