I don't know about profits but they made the best exclusives of this gen by a long shot as far as I'm concerned.

That's not really relevant to the topic... at all. xD

I know, right?

Anyway, they said the same thing about Gamecube, always citing a picture that lumped handheld and homeconsole sales together.

This is not surpsing at all. Making games that flopped, taking a loss for some time with each wiiu sold, R&D, advertising (yes, they did as much people like to deny this) and poor sales overall meant they actually lost money with wiiu.

Edit: People keep saying how well 3ds is doing, but it's not. If you look at the software sales everywhere but in Japan, the 3ds is not selling much software at all. It's always, ps4/xbone and once in a while you see a wiiu or 3ds game. It used to so different with the ds dominating the charts with evergreen titles.
