I do have to apoligize. There was a typo. The above should read 20-25 million, not 30-35.

Gamecube sales: 21 million worldwide
Gameboy Advance sales: 81 million worldwide
Total: 102 million worldwide

Wii U sales: 10 million worldwide
3DS sales: 53 million worldwide
Total: 63 million worldwide

Where have those 40 million people gone? Are they just biding their time, waiting for a price cut?

Are you really going to try to argue that the experience on the Gameboy Advance vs the Gamecube is that dramatically different from the expereince on the 3DS vs the Wii U? The games you can play on the GBA are pretty similar to the games you can play on the 3DS, and the games you can play on the Gamecube are pretty similar to the games you can play on the Wii U. Nintendo has been making refreshed versions of old ideas for a long, long time, and every generation more and more people get tired of it and stop supporting them.

My ass. Are you forgetting the last genration? Of course you do, last generation never existed for some of you just because.

If people is so tired how is possible that Mario Kart 7 on the 3Ds (11m) have sold more than Mario Kart on GBA, GC, N64 and even the Super Nintendo itself? How is possible that Animal Crossing New Leaf has sold 2 times what the original on GC did?
Or how is possible that MK8 is already outselling Super Circuit on GBA and almost outselling the famous Double Dash on GC with just a 1/8 the userbse of GBA and 1/2 the userbase of GC?
 Or what about Super Mario 3D land (+10 m) selling around the same as Mario 64 and Super Mario all-stars on snes, just a bit less than the first Mario Galaxy and more than Mario Sunshine on GC, Mario Galaxy 2 on Wii or any other Mario game on GBA? And even Super mario 3D world is already on its way to outsell Super Mario world 2 on Snes .
And what about Pokemon X/Y overselling Heartgold/Heartsilver, Firered/Leafgreen, Emerald, Crystal, White/black 2 and on its way to match black/white and maybe even Yellow on Game Boy with a bit of luck?

And if we talk about the last generation than we are talking about MK Wii, MK DS, New super Mario Bros wii and New Super Mario bros DS being 4 of the best selling games of the whole history of videogames, and that happened just a generation ago, so your argument is complete bs, people don´t like WiiU, that doesn´t mean people don´t like Nintendo games, not at all, if WiiU had a decent userbase then Nintendo game sales would be epic.
