This gen is on pace to finish at around

72-75 million - 3DS

15-17 million - Wii U

I wouldn't count on a home version of the NX coming close to the portable version's sales. 

What I meant is that the handheld market shrank a lot this gen. 

 

154 million DS

90 million PSP

 

72-75 million 3DS

15 million PS Vita

 

You're right. NX console version probably won't come close the portable one, specially in Japan. However nintendo can't count on handhelds to keep the company alive as it was the case in the past with the DS and GameBoy. They need to improve their console business market share.

 

 

Unfortunately that is also easier said than done. Without a controller gimmick that really drives sales adoption, Nintendo's other two consoles have failed miserably to compete in a console business that's largely been dominated by Sony since the mid/late 1990s. 

I think if Nintendo can hold fort at even

60 million portable NX

15-17 million home NX 

They'll probably take it without too many complaints.
