Nice thread OP

N64 did well in USA (SNES level) but flopped abroad

GC in the other hand flopped everywhere

GBA could have reached 100 million and it was a smash out-of-the-gate, but DS quickly replaced it. Only 3 years in the market before DS release is quite shocking. Still insane it moved freaking 80 million copies with such a short life span


Game Boy sales run was really one of a kind, its sales peak came when it was already 10 years in the market, mind-blowing

GameCube didn't do too bad in the US. Relatively speaking compared to other places. GameCube had more competition than the N64 did. N64 really only had to compete with the PS1, while GameCube had PS2 and Xbox. 

As far as GBA. I agree. It could have sold way more if Nintendo didn't replace it so fast. 

The USA is safe haven of Nintendo. Neither Japan have this performance. Gamecube, with macroeconomics trends in mind, was a worst-selling than Wiiu. Wiiu has the worst scenario. Gamecube problems were more internal than external, just imagine a Gamecube in bad economic trends, yesh!
