Only compared to the DS/Wii Era is Nintendo significantly down in terms of total hardware & software sales.

Wii U and 3DS hardware sales are both down from GCN and GBA respectively, not to mention NES/SNES/N64 and Gameboy.

 

Hence why I said significantly

NES+G&W, SNES+GB, N64+GBC, GC+GBA all did roughly 100 million units of hardware with 500 million units of software. 3DS+Wii U are on track to do 80 million units of hardware with 400 million units of software. That amount of decline can possibly be attributed to Nintendo making certain design and marketing mistakes rather than simply losing mainstream appeal.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
