Most people hadn't heard of it in '86. In fact, the SMB/Duck Hunt NES that everyone remembers wasn't even available until 1988. Things back then weren't like they are now. The NES launch wasn't like the PS5 launch where people were camped outside waiting for launch day. The NES launch was this gradual thing over the course of a year or longer.

Another thing to remember is that the NES had a ridiculously long lifespan
Not counting bootlegs, I believe the last official NES game was released in 1994, a full three years into the SNES' lifespan

Sure, the NES wasn't new in 88, but it was still the must-have console.
Prior to the Genesis, Nintendo pretty much dominated the gaming landscape.
