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.

 

that they 'used' to be. their sales now are similar to that of the Nintendo 64 generation. the reality is that all gaming companies have ups and downs. the only reason their sales are down in general is due to a poorly plan and marketed home console

if the Wii U controller and name had been different it probably would have sold 2 or 3x as well as it has. no one wants the Gamepad unfortunately

again though, things like the Amiibo selling out everywhere indicates that Nintendo is as relevant as ever
