12,000 Fake Nintendo And Sega Consoles To Be Destroyed In Major Retro Gaming Bust
Briefly

"Around 12,000 consoles on which more than 47 million pirated video games were illegally stored were seized, for an estimated value of more than €47.5 million."
"The fake retro consoles... were manufactured in China and sold online and in stores, and apparently ran afoul of EU European technical and safety standards."
"It certainly sounds like these counterfeit consoles were your run of the mill emulation devices running stolen ROMs... just here potentially in plastic housings that replicated the look of the originals."
"It’s unclear if Turin's financial police have a whole special investigative unit for fighting retro gaming piracy, or if this was a bust they stumbled into."
