As people have stated, even if we were looking from a pre wii perspective, the overall numbers still show decline.

Really though I don't think we should ignore it simply for the fact that Nintendo as a whole were in a vastly better position in 2011 then they were in 2005. Even if half of wii's userbase never pick up a game controller again there is no reason why the systems successor should be doing so poorly. Nintendo could easily be looking at a console with 15m sales at this point but the Wii U was such a poorly designed and launched system that they made a mess of the opportunity they had.
