You're right. Ignoring the existence of one entire product really does put a different spin on the industry.

To further emphasise my point. We don't pretend the Wii didn't exist. The Wii was an anomaly when you consider Nintendo consoles sold less with each gen. The hardcore Nintendo fanbase even decreased during the Wii gen because the Wii U is selling less than the Gamecube, which leads me to believe the actual Nintendo fanbase that bought the Wii was somewhere between the GCN and Wii U. No way did it increase over GCN and then took such a massive dive gen over gen. It is obvious where the bulk of the Wii install base came from and where it went.

Nintendo created the Wii. Nintendo sold it. Nintendo profitted greatly from it. Who bought it is irrelevant. It happened. When you discuss Nintendo sales, you have to include Wii, no matter how much you would prefer to go around it.
