Famitsu Yearly Sales (millions)

N64

1996: 1.02 (7 months)
1997: 0.83
1998: 1.21
1999: 1.13
2000: 0.26
2001: 0.08
2002: 0.01

Total: 4.54

mmm... This seems incorrect. N64 sold 5.54 millions in Japan, not 4.54.

Are you sure you did not make an error in 1997, and changed "a 1" for "a 0" in the million units? It will explain the difference.

(Still... tha machine sold worse than originally expected in Japan, and US market "saved" the total numbers of N64. But when you post numbers to compare, you have to do an extra check, cause errors happen).

The figures are correct but Famitsu tracked less of the market in the mid to late nineties and back then they were also less accurate than they are now, so that's why there is a big discrepancy.
