N64 was such a freaking beast considering it had very few games, but some really big ones.

Wii probably could've sold double what Nintendo shipped in this time frame.

I don't think people realize, the Wii U is going to have to increase its sales by like 4-5x fold just to match the GameCube's monthly rate.


At the time they really had almost no competition.  PSone was a new and untested brand/ console, and SEGA had completely fallen apart after the CD and the Saturn failed to penetrate western markets.  Different world back then.  The $50 drop from $199 alone would have meant huge sales spike in the fall of '97 just so even more people could get their hands on Mario 64.



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.
