It's kind of funny how no one brings up the N64, too. That console just exists in a weird vacuum between success and failure. 

Its mostly because of regional differences.

N64 only saw a slight decline from SNES outside of Japan, ~27.5m vs ~32m.

However, N64 saw a huge decline from SNES in Japan, ~5.5m vs ~17m.

 

This combination led to it falling somewhere in the middle of good & bad on a global scale.

 

N64 was to PS1, what XBO is to PS4.

Yeah, that's what I kind of figured. Especially here in America, the patriotism to the N64 is real. That's a big reason why I think N64 games tend to be looked back on more positively than most PS1 games, too. 

Probably also why OG XBOX isn't considered a  .... TOTAL failure (arguably it did ok)
