N64 sold great out of the gate and even for the first 3-4 years in North America, but in Europe/Japan it was a tough sell with so few games.
Really had Nintendo given the system a CD-drive, it would've sold 3-4x the amount IMO. It would've been a monster, the fact that it sold so well given such limited developer support was amazing.
