You mean what was left of the N64 user base by 2000/1? Nintendo loyalist fans, explains quite a bit. N64, GC (was rooting for the system myself for a while, until I took a hard look at what was going happen.. and it wasn't the GC that was going happen), and Wii. They all have/had their die-hard fans. Not sure if they're enough to qualify the n64 ram addon as 'successful' though.

How many games actually required the ram expansion pak? I remember the second Zelda game did, but that's all I can remember. LoL @ Nintendo for releasing that game super late in the game, let alone forcing whatever user base that was left to have the expansion pak. Way to milk that last bit of money from the n64, Nintendo. I wouldn't doubt the majority of the expansion sales were from that game.
