PS3 wasn't a Late Bloomer, Neither was 360 and Neither will Wii U

oh i agree with you, but thats the point of it all isnt it? People buy Ninty systems for Ninty games, BUT its not that many people. Fact is the fanbase for Ninty games isnt as big as some people want to believe. Otherwise Wii U would be doing much better and GC and N64 would have done better. And no people bought N64 for Ninty games as well, the writing was on the wall that all the major 3rd party stuff would be going to PS1 or at least they would get it first.

So how do you explain the DS and 3DS? Do really only a few people buy Nintendo games? 

I highly doubt it.

how do you explain N64, WiiU, GC and to a lesser extent SNES? we're talking consoles here. 

Ninty has no competition in the handheld space...except mobiles just recently, which explains the massive decline in sales from DS to 3ds. Hell i would say DS sold for the same reasons Wii did, it was something different on the market.
