Title has nothing to do with your faulty statement. You're just ignoring the one area where Nintendo has historically dominated because it doesn't suit your point.

It's odd how much you apparently know about why I do things. This thread is about the problem with the Wii U, hence why I came in here discussing the problem with the Wii U. There's no reason to discuss the problem with the 3DS, as there is no problem with it. But I suppose you actually could say the same applies to their handheld buisness, it's been in decline with the exception of the DS, just like their homeconsoles have been in decline with the exception of the Wii.

 

FYI, the GBA didn't sell 80% of what the GB did. And if we're using the timespan argument, the DS was basically flat from the GBA, because it had a 7 year life span.

Your statement is simply wrong. You said the market for Nintendo only games was shrinking since the NES. WRONG.  The market for Nintendo only games is about as high today than during the NES days.

The gameboy had a lifespan of 14 years. Everyone with a little bit of common sense would see that the GBA was more succesful than the GB.

And if you allign GBA with the DS the DS still outsells it in its second and third year.

The 3DS has the same amount of 10 million+ sellers as the NES. And unlike the NES it didn't rely on heavy bundling to reach those numbers. And unlike the NES, the 3DS has digital sales (which aren't tracked here).
