According to Wikipedia the NES had a lifespan of 20 years.


Possibly a difference in definition of lifespan, I suspect the 2600 one is using “first game released to last new game released”, whilst the NES / Famicom is “hardware available for purchase”, as Nintendo Japan didn’t officially discontinue the AV Famicom until circa 2003, even though the last new game was released around 1994.
