The 993 numbers weren't as bad as everyone makes them out to be. Porsche sold 2600 911s in the US (not including Canada) in 1998, and that was a shortened year because the 996 rolled out in the fall, and was expected due to all the press the new 911 was getting. Before that, they averaged 6 to 7,000 per year in the US.
The real drop off was the end of the 964 models in 92-93.
In it's last full model year of production, Porsche produced ~18,000 993s worldwide. Not too far from the 996's average of 22,000 over it's production run.
