I heard it sold over 450K. The first model was really bulky and was a battery drainer. A highschool friend owned one. I liked the Toki port.
It was very powerful for its time (actually the first color handheld, 4K color pallette), much more interesting than a Gameboy from this perspecitve (personally I like Klax a lot better than mono color Tetris). But of course for a handheld form factor, pricing and battery life are far more crucial, for powerful gaming at home it made much more sense to own an Amiga.
