haha, it is going to be tough to argue, that is why it shouldn't be an argument in the first place. :P
It did well, maybe it will do better in the future, none of us can really know without a doubt whether this game was a flop or a success judging by anecdotal standards. (I say so because we have some pretty high standards here at VGC)
If we were to use historical standards of semi-niche platform games in their first iteration, well, I don't know what the trend would be and I'm too lazy to look it up. But, from quick thoughts of Banjo 1, super mario 1, spyro and crash, it isn't doing as well as it could be doing.
But from what I can tell, this made a boatload of money already and I'm sure it already has a bunch of lifetime franchise fans already, and that is all you can really ask for in any successful game: fanbase.
