But it's equally hard to say that Nintendo games will be huge system sellers for the NX when the Nintendo systems sales went from 250 millions to 75 millions in a generation, while keeping those Nintendo games. So either people don't care about the Nintendo games anymore (or less, anyway), or there is another reason behind this fall and this reason could very well be here with the NX too (mobile, third party, console competition...).

The question is not "do Nintendo games sell consoles?", it's "how much?". And right now, it 2/3 less than a generation ago, so what will the next one be like ?

We shouldn't be overly dramatic about it, but the numbers and tendencies can't lead to huge optimism either...

 

You kinda just answered your own question, even with all their flaws (high price, meh launch line-up, poor marketing, droughts, etc.), Nintendo hardware still sold 70+ million this generation. Yeah that's not a good number between two different systems, but for a unified NX that would be a great amount.
