Saturn was quite popular in Japan yes, but the PlayStation had absolutely no problem in the US and Europe in overtaking the Saturn's lifetime sales very early into the gen.
The Saturn stumbled out of the gate due to SEGA's incompetence. PS1 had already solidified it's place enough when the N64 released in all regions. It wasn't like the N64 didn't have a chance at all though, I agree, but it couldn't really compete with the number of games being released on the PS1. N64 sold exremely well during launch window solely because of Mario 64, it really is one of the most revolutionary games ever made.
However, because 30m of the PS1's sales came from the redesign during the course of the 6th gen, the end result was indeed a lot closer too than what it may seem today (35 vs. 70 instead of 35 vs. 100).
