I found these sales figures to be pretty interesting.
From April 1989-March 1995, Gameboy+SNES shipped 81.04 million
From Apr 2011-March 2016, 3DS+Wii U will have shipped 72.06 million (based on Nintendo's current fiscal year projections)
Next fiscal year will likely see 3DS around 5 million with Wii U in the 2-3 million range so that would put total 3DS+Wii U shipments somewhere around 80 million. Basically Nintendo is doing just as well as they did in the early 90s despite this being considered them at their worst and the early 90s being regarded as Nintendo at their best.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
