It's a milestone sure, but I don't know why there is so much love for the N64. It was Nintendo's worst selling console at the time and it marked when Nintendo lost the first place spot in the home console business. N64 didn't do terribly well from a business perspective, especially when compared to Nintendo's other systems at the time: NES, SNES and Gameboy.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
