Wii U sales trend may be just as expected if we look at Nintendo's home console sales.

Your whole argument falls at the bold. Explain the DS? Nintendo saw the potential maket with the DS with the release of Nintendogs, Brain Age and the other touch generation games - they used the same philosophy for the Wii and it payed off greatly.

You can even tell their philosophy witht the Wii from the e3 2006  conferance stemmed from the DS

Fluke? Their strategy worked twice in the same generation.  The strategy may not work now since the market has changed, but it certainly was not a fluke. 

Apples and oranges. I thought we were talking home consoles only. Nintendo has always dominated the handheld market. That's never changed. 

Home consoles or handhelds - it doesn't change the fact that the strategy was delibrate and brilliant - it proves my point that the Wii was not a fluke
