People are selective. The N64 is considered a bomb too, while it did decent considering. However when comparing, the OG Xbox sold less than that and not much better than the GCN, and is not considered a bomb generally. So yeah, people can be selective.
WHAT A COMEBACK FROM NINTENDO!
Third Party WHO?!?!?!
"Flop" WHO?!?!?!

Its mostly because of regional differences.
N64 only saw a slight decline from SNES outside of Japan, ~27.5m vs ~32m.
However, N64 saw a huge decline from SNES in Japan, ~5.5m vs ~17m.
This combination led to it falling somewhere in the middle of good & bad on a global scale.
N64 was to PS1, what XBO is to PS4.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
That momentum. :)

For sure!? :D
How that can be for sure when last year Switch had huge stock problems and Switch curently in January-February that are always slow months for Switch, and with only Bayonetta in that period has 270/280k!?

Yeah, that's what I kind of figured. Especially here in America, the patriotism to the N64 is real. That's a big reason why I think N64 games tend to be looked back on more positively than most PS1 games, too.
Probably also why OG XBOX isn't considered a .... TOTAL failure (arguably it did ok)

Zhuge said it didn't include handhelds. So I made the title accordingly.
This is one of those times in history when something cements a narrative that can never be changed. Switch is a console. Let's hope this continues because this now precludes any comparisons with handheld figures. There isn't any reason to believe it won't of course but I feel as if this could be a tad premature.
The PS5 Exists.

The Switch is a hybrid. That is the narrative. Nothing more, nothing less.

Yeah. I feel that the major news sites and trackers treats it as a Home console that can be played on the go rather than a Hybrid (its own thing) or a handheld.
Only users here tries to push it the other way.
Edit: and its funny how there are people in the Japanese threads do think it as a handheld, while in other countries its a home console.
