Considering how much Nintendo hardware dropped this generation, it's hardly unprecedented. Especially if they fail to learn the correct lesson from this generation.

Well isn't the general perception around here that Wii/DS were casual flukes and wouldn't be replicated no matter what? If thats the case then wasn't a massive decline inevitable and the generations before that is what we should compare it to? G&W+NES, GB(thru 96)+SNES, GB(beyond 96)+N64, GBA+GC all sold a little over 100 million, 3DS+Wii U are on track to sell 80-90 million so not the huge decline that many people make it out to be.

True. But given mounting competition from the mobile space, I think a 15-20% decrease from this gen to the next is a safe bet. After that, I think it just comes down to execution and proper support, something I don't see Nintendo nailing, if recent history is any indication.

Considering how little we actually know (such as whether what we're discussing will ever actually exist), it's all just conjecture.
