I see people say this alot but I think it is the opposite, diehards arent decreasing, its the non-diehards that are decreasing. The reason I say this is because the 1st party software sales from 3DS+Wii U have not had a drastic decrease when compared to GBA+GC.

Its hard to say that diehard Nintendo fans are decreasing when their software sales are pretty stable.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
