How many copies did Turtles in Time sell?

I have always seen people praising Turtles in Time online. It's certainly not an obscure game. It came out in the 3 major video game regions back in 1992(Japan, Europe and North America).

But how many copies did it sell? Does anyone know? I've never seen it mentioned when it comes to high selling SNES games. But I've seen NES TMNT getting mentioned on highest selling NES games lists before. I remember reading mnay years ago that it sold about 4 million copies. Granted that game came out in 1989 right around the height of TurtleMania while Turtles in Time got its console release in mid-late 1992 which was the time when Turtlemania was starting to lose steam, from what I gather. But considering Turtles in Time was a port that surpassed its arcade version that came out a year before, you'd think it would be a commercial success, no?

I wouldn't say it sold more copies than NES TMNT. Seems like everyone had NES TMNT when they were kids, my brother and I included. But considering how praised Turtles in Time is to this say, a lot of people must have grown up with it as well, right?
