If we remove the temporary Wii craze which brought in an influx of casuals that have since left ...

NES - 62 million
SNES - 49 million
N64 -33 million
GameCube - 22 million
Wii U - 14 million

This is actually a fairly consistent and frightening drop. There's only so many Nintendo faithful left.

Thats actually very eye opening. 

THe NES and SNES were gamers in general. After those devices, people had more options. I'd say the truest number of hardcore Nintendo fans probably is starting at the Gamecube era, when Nintendo started losing 3rd party support. So the Wii U had a decent drop since Gamecube, but the NX will change that.
