There's nothing silly about that claim at all. The Wii U is tracking behind the Gamecube and third party support is all but gone. It's pretty much in the same position the Vita found itself in last year. Additionally, I can understand why somebody would ignore the Wii when anaylzing Nintendo's sales trends due to the fact that it existed in a vacuum thanks to Sony's enormous, industry defining incompetence. That being said, I disagree with its exclusion because even if the PS3 was a well designed, reasonably priced console that launched on time it still wouldn't have prevented a significant increase in hardware sales for the Wii.
@OP
I agree with your assertion because I can not see Microsoft ever coming close to the 360's level of success ever again. Additionally, I just don't see Nintendo regaining any momentum in the console market and even if they did it would require a spectacular failure on the part of Sony to create another opportunity to move that much hardware. Finally, the decline of dedicated handhelds is painfully obvious so I doubt that anything will surpass the PSP from this point forward (except for Playstation home consoles of course).
