Super Smash Bros. Melee was the best selling Gamecube game while Mario Kart Wii was the best selling Wii game excluding bundles.

Until those franchises have their Wii U entries, lifetime predictions are pointless.

More or less this.

The other is the key of local multiplayer. 3DS is eating away at the people's need to buy a Nintendo box, because the 3DS games are becoming so similar to the home games, but local multiplayer is still where home consoles reign supreme.
