Nintendo consoles had been in a downtrend since the NES. The exception was the Wii, but the wii bought a lot of casual gamers, introduced a new type of control for a console and it was really cheap. So, if we take the Wii out of the ecuation, we can see that the Nintendo Game Cube sold 21,7 Millon consoles. If the Wii U sells 8 millon in 2 years, it might get to 20 in its lifetime, not very diferent from the GC. What nintendo should do to make it better next time? make a console with better hardware and 3rd party support like PS4?, make games for mobile hardware like cell phones or tablets? Not make any hardware at all and sell games to the other console hardware? Was the Wii just an exception of the downtrend or not?
NES = 61,9 M
SNES = 49,1 M
N64 = 32,9 M
NGC = 21,7 M
Wii = 101,2 M
