Wtf, did I wake up in a different universe? Since when was the N64 and GC considered duds.
The nintendo 64 actually is a dud if we are going by sales. In japan it had it's ass kicked badly by the sega saturn (via all those saturn games that did not get to be localized. Thanks bernie stolar), which in turn got trashed by the PS1. With how huge nintendo was over there with the famicom and super famicom, it was seen as extremely humbling/pretty bad. In europe nintendo's sales for the NES and SNES never was that all that high, and the N64 either barely sold better or sold worse than those. (EU peeps were too busy playing the master system, mega drive, the commodore 64, and the PS1 lol). *It also did not help that the N64 launched pretty late in the UK, and at a way higher price than everything else. Sony already had a comfy foothold over there and at a way cheaper price by the 64's EU launch.*

North america straight up carried the 64 with the bit of success it had.

As far as the gamecube goes, the og xbox despite being the new kid on the block managed to outsell the gamecube barely.
