A few things I find interesting ... the Saturn outsold the N64 there .... sweet merciful crap Nintendo, whoever insisted on cartridges for the N64 really needed to be hauled off onto a catapult and flung into the ocean. To be outsold by the Saturn, which Sega didn't even support past like 1997 is an embarrassment. 3DS was also a pretty big success in Japan. Also never realized PC Engine sold that well, I knew it was for a time pretty popular but 8 mill in the early 90s is really solid.
