Nintendo took several steps to redesign the Famicom prior to a United States launch. It was made to look like a VCR unit rather than console, and was given the name the "Nintendo Entertainment System" to distance it from being a video console.[8] Further, Nintendo added a special 10NES lockout system that worked as a lock-and-key system with game cartridges to further prevent unauthorized games from being published for the system and avoid the loss of publishing control that had caused the 1983 crash.[9] The NES revitalized the U.S. video game industry and established Nintendo as the domination name in video game consoles over Atari.[10] In lifetime sales, the NES had sold nearly 62 million units worldwide, with 34 million in North America.[11]
