Note how I blocked all non-American regions together, Xbox having more of a presence in Europe is easily countered by N64 selling over 5 million in Japan. America makes up about 60% of global XB1 sales similar to N64. But even so, XB1-15m vs PS4-50m in Europe isn't really all that different to N64-6m vs PS1-37m.

Japan is a very different market though. X1 is in a better position having no relevance in Japan but a bigger presence in Europe. Why? Europeans buy the same games as US consumers, while Japan is virtually its own market.

Bottom line, comparing N64 to X1 is a stretch for numerous reasons. The more we discuss it the more that argument falls apart.

It's really not that significantly more relevant in Europe compared to N64 though. Xbox One might have like 20% market share in Europe when all is said and done compared to about 15% for Nintendo 64, not really as significant as u make it out to be, the market in Europe has grown by a lot since the mid/late 90s so comparing purely by raw numbers doesn't tell the whole picture.
