20 million less people own a Wii U or 3DS compared to a GCN or GBA.
Also, key franchises like 3D Mario and Smash Bros have declined compared to the 6th gen.

Nope. 3d world is tracking ahead of sunshine and smash for wii u was canibalized by the 3ds version. All other games are around the same level or higher than their GC counterparts.

VGChartz numbers have 3D World 2.3 million below Sunshine, and Smash U 2.4 million below Melee.
GCN + GBA also sold over 100 million units while Wii U + 3DS are on track for about 80 million.

surely you're aware of the obvious mistakes made with the Wii U though? you're acting as if NIntendo put out a top of the line system and failed or something. they still dominate the handheld market and put out a home console that had a name that made no sense (not at all like the Wii) and that was expensive for its capabilities and had a strange controller
I think its pretty obvious that if Nintendo had released a traditional console then their hardware sales numbers (handheld + home) would be matching that of the GBA and Gamecube era
at any rate you're trying to make a point about Smash and 3D world being behind at the moment but if the Wii U continues to be sold for another year or two its quite possible those leads will be erased anyway
using software as a way to make your point would be crazy, the 3DS has pushed way more software than Nintendo was pushing with their handhelds in some of their earlier generations and I would not be suprised if software sales wise the 3DS is beyond the GBA

Again this talk that wii u was expensive and had a weird controller.
