No exatly same thing:
-SNES was best selling console of that gen
-N64 was second best selling Nintendo console of that gen
-GC was worst selling console of that gen, far behind PS2 and around 10m behind Xbox. But point is that after GC Nintendo changed strategy that left them to their best selling console ever.
-Wii easily best selling Nintendo console, with 101m.
-Wii U curently around 13m, LT most likly around 14m. Huge drop from previous 101m, easily far worst selling console this gen. Same like they done after GC, Nintendo will definatly make some big changes and strategie in order to have much more popular product after Wii U.
To be clear, I dont expecting that NX will have neary similar numbers like Wii, but I am 100% conifident that will sell much better than Wii U (like you wrote, it's unrealistic that Nintendo will make anything that will sells worse than that, I dont think they could do that even if they want), I relly dont expect less than 20m in worst case. Its way to early to guess what sell numbers will NX have, but if only Nintendo adress huge mistakes they done with Wii U (all points they doing that) like terible and missunaderstood marketing, weak launch and 1st year lineup, unapiling gamepad, not competitive price...NX could have sales 20-50m.

So what if the SNES was highest selling? It still sold worse than its predecessor. So what if N64 was second highest selling? It still sold worse than its predecessor. Why does that matter at all?
To put it in another perspective: If the Wii U sold 13 million, and the PS4 sold 10 million and the X1 sold 8 million up to this point, the Wii U would be considered a success and people would be saying Nintendo shouldn't need to change much of anything with the NX? Of course not.

Even SNES sold less than NES it still success, its best selling console of that gen, not to mention that NES basicly didnt had compettion. N64 sold less than SNES, but again isn't completely faile, Nintendo made quite money with it and it wasn't worst selling console of that gen there were huge failes that gen compared to N64.
In that case we could say that Wii U is succes compared to PS4/XB1 but oweral offcourse it would be faile and offcourse next console would need to be much more succfule.
You put things out of context, like I wrote if multi billion company have their worst selling console in 6 generations of consoles, where sales numbers won't pass 15m after previous console that sold 101m, generation in which company actually has first loss in its history, of course that company will try hard and change lotsa things in order to have much more appealing next product. Nintendo already done something similar after GC, now they again trying to achive something similar. And like I wrote, we see that Nintendo doing huge changes internally and externally. But you can still think that Nintendo will actually act like Wii U is actually huge success and they not changing or wil not change anything.
