I have to agree with people saying Wii U and 3DS.
The 3DS had some damn fine games, but it really was a decline in hardware sales compared to the DS and Western third party support also dried up so quickly, which probably explains a part of that sales drop. The 3DS was primarily Nintendo and Japanese third party supported.
The Wii U's awful marketing is well known at this point, but at least its games got a second lease on life on Switch and Nintendo focused on getting indies on the system, a strong relationship that has continued in the Switch era.
