Nintendo's down, but not out.

Nope - because it's really, really easy. 
10 million units on a console that has sold 99 million +. Proportionally, that's not very good when we consider the amount of units sold on the other consoles which have almost 30 millions less sales than the wii. 

Uncharted, Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, Halo, Mass Effect, and Skyrim are easy too, but I bet you'd call at least some of them "core" games.

And regardless of install base, 10 million plus IS a massive number for a console exclusive. And it's predecessor, Melee, sold 7 million on the 22 million selling Gamecube.

Those games are all mature though, and certainly not as easy as something like Mario Karts. 

So in a best case scenario (also read utterly implausible) SSB will help shift 8 million consoles, meaning the Wii U taps out at 10 mill. Yeah that's guarenteed 3rd place.
