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

GameCube outsold the Wii in basically the same period. Nintendo for sure undershipped the fuck outta that thing, lol. 1.77 mill N64s in basically three months is not bad, not bad at all especially for 1996, that must've been a record for any game hardware at that time and would still be a healthy number today. 

What did the PS1 sell in 3 months? Not trying to make a point, I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if it was lower due to the PS1 being a new company system. What about SNES though? That probably sold more in it's first 3 months. 

Also 1.77 mil would be terrible by todays standards. Xbox One sold like 2.4 mil in two months

Edit : I was wrong. Xbox One actually sold 3 million by the end of 2013. So roughly half of Xbox One numbers ...
