According to VGC numbers:

NES - 61.91 million

SNES - 49.10 million

N64 - 32.93 million

GC - 21.74 million

I call that a steady decline... as I said, Wii thrived on a gimmick and bucked the downward trend, but now that the gimmick is gone, WiiU continues the 25-year decline...

 

(Also, it's not "whenever one of the big three has the highest selling console of the generation they always have a decline in sales", as PS2 witnessed a 50% growth after PS1 won its generation...)

You could also equate the lowering in sales to much higher level amount of competition. Also all the systems had gimmicks. Theirs just weren't up to the Wii's.
