Okay and people often had both. Point still stands that N64 and GameCube were household names at the time. Break out by region and the numbers are closer.
No one is saying they sold more. Plus the PS2 was still being sold even after the PS4 was made. From a financial perspective they sold just fine at the time in most countries.
N64 v PS1 is an almost 70million sale difference.
GCN v PS2 is even larger at an almost 140mil sale difference. Even Xbox had them beat by almost 3mil
