That can't be true, the N64 making more profit than the Playstation...
Are you sure you don't mean PS2.
The Playstation made a bomb. Think of all the game sales and what cut Sony got from them...

The PS2 launch was a terrible terrible shambles. The GameCube has had the best/most successful european launch of any console -fact.
Anyways, the Sonic.. the 64 made Nintendo more profit than the Playstation did Sony.
Its all in the Bloomberg machine. :D

Strafex, it was a shambles indeed...
Sony were set to manufacturer european ps2 chips in their new warehouse... which didn't work.
So, they had to move back to the old warehouse, spending millions getting it running again.
Then they had to send all the consoles by air.
Meaning massive amounts didn't get here in time.

Half the pre-ordered PS2's weren't available on the day though...
And half of the rest weren't even picked up because either people couldn't be bothered or they thought they didn't stand a chance of getting theirs until the rest of the shipment came in.
A bit of a shambles really! :-D

How long did it take for all PS2's to sell though?
Ortega, all European PS2s were sold, so surely that makes the PS2 the fastest selling ans most successful console launch in Europe ever?
Fastest and best selling release of a console in europe ever.
Thats got a nice ring to it.
Well done Nintendo. Now capitalise on it.

Good launch sales dont always guarentee long term success. So dont read too muc into it.
500,000 cubes came into Europe so not all of them sold...
500,000 PS2s also came into Europe at launch. UK was a sell-out before launch but i'm not sure about the rest of Europe.
