I agree I definitely wouldn't call the system a failure, but it didn't outsell the Genesis. VGC is wrong on a couple of old hardware products, the Genesis actually sold 40m units. Really the only console it outsold that was also considered successful is the Atari 2600.
Anyway I don't consider it a failure in any way like I said, and the number of PS1 vs. N64 also looks worse now than it did at the actual end of that generation. It's kind of ironic that it's held in such a high regard today, it's one of the more popular retro consoles. Prices for the both the console and it's games are quite respectable.
