This is a whole lot of nothing sandwich. How much consoles did Nintendo sell when the 64(or whatever this 1995 launch is) launched in the US?

Total sales in launch calendar year:
Nintendo 64 (September 1996): 1,771,791
Game Boy Advance (June 2001): 4,746,422
GameCube (November 2001): 1,236,059
Nintendo DS (November 2004): 1,200,000
Wii (November 2006): 1,080,000
Nintendo 3DS (March 2011): 4,112,000
Wii U (November 2012):  890,000

So they're just saying it will sell more units per year than other hardware? That's pretty obvious...
