Not by a long shot. While the N64 is pretty popular here (selling, as
just a guess, maybe 80-90% of what the PS sells through), it's kinda
fallen flat on its face in Japan. The last figures I heard (from late
last fall/early winter) were that, in Japan, Sony was going through
about 50K systems a week, with the Saturn trailing far behind at about
6K (the Saturn's still alive and kicking in the land of the rising sun),
and the N64 falling to 3rd place at about 4K units per week.
Now, I'm not entirely sure about the accuracy of those figures, and
they've probably changed since, but it serves as an indication,
anyway . . .
