Actually, the 20.6 million count for the N64 is for "The Americas," which in Nintendo parlance I would assume includes not only the U.S & Canada but also Latin America. NPD data puts the N64 at about 18 million, consistent with the U.S. typically comprising around 90% of regional Nintendo sales. Here's a more accurate comparison of U.S. sales of the two systems:

Well, after adding up those first four years as well as the roughly 470k it sold this January + February, that puts the 3DS at 18.3 million, and it's still selling. Meanwhile, by the end of 2002 the N64 was at 17.98M, and considering it sold only 150k in all of 2002, it probably didn't get much over 18 million. Assuming the 3DS is flat this year from last year, that puts it at 21 million by the end of this year, already ahead of the total lifetime count of the N64 for the Americas. Overall, the 3DS should pull at least 25 million lifetime in the region.

And I think that's pretty much case closed. The 3DS has likely already beaten the N64 in the U.S. and it's still far from dead.

Are u sure ur not using Japanese 3DS sales?
