GBC was not really a separate system, anymore than DS Lite or New 3DS. Gameboy covered both the SNES and N64 generations, but that's a whole other story.

Anyway, 100 million with GCN + GBA to 80 million with Wii U + 3DS is still a 20% decline, I wouldn't call that insignificant.

Both 3ds and Wii U were much more expensive and had way less 3rd party games than GBA and GC respectively, in a time with far more competition. I think those numbers are great, all things considered.

It could definitely have been much worse, I'll give you that.

Overall though, Nintendo still wield less power now than they did in previous generations. They still make great games that well sell, they're just not quite the industry powerhouse they used to be.
