Is a userbase of 20 million really anything to be proud of? I mean if that's their roof, then really they're just better off making one device that can play on the TV and is a portable too. It would take until at least 2019-2020 to get to that 20 million as well, by which time the next-next gen will be in full swing. 

No, that would more likely be the bottom floor.


Seeing as how 2D Mario, 3D Mario, Smash Brothers, Mario Kart, Donkey Kong Country, Bayonetta, Mario Maker, Splatoon, Xenoblade, and yes even the new Zelda will only get the current Wii U to like 17 million most likely, I wouldn't even say 20 million is any kind of floor. 

It may well be that it's the roof if they cannot attract anyone but the same group of Nintendo fans. By 2017 Sony/MS will pretty much have consolidated most of the core market. I think they'll even lose the parents/kids market, by then PS4/XB1 will have years to have make their pricing affordable and a library of thousands of games, Nintendo will be starting with like 10 games. It's only the real Nintendo fans that are going to think that's a great proposition.
