Relatively at the time, consoles didn't need to sell to the upwards it does today. I mean it is similar as to why Nintendo were still satisfied with the GameCube sales at the end of the day. |
I would assume that these consoles are somewhat profitable even with such low sales. Thanks to the link that @HigHurtenflurst shared, the GC and N64 still managed to sell a lot of software.
My question is how is it possible that such a machine that gave me such great games and countless hours of fun, could have sold so little, less than both of its predecessors.
