Yes, the 3DS didn't peak yet! Don't ask me why though, it's more of hunch than an educated guess. I feel the 3DS still has a lot of life in it and we will see it peak in 2015 with the introduction of a new model or something like that.
...And that's it! Feel free to bump this and make fun (or not) of me in a couple of years!
I'll also attach this to my thread:

You can't be too positive these days around here if you are talking about Nintendo! So I attached this article about Nintendo's hardware decline by Matt Matthews! I think it's well written... kinda! It's bad news so rejoice!

Something like the 2DS ? :D
Seriously I think many of us thought that a 2DS would sell enormously well, but it barely increased the sales.
Sales are going down IMO, but not that dramatic.

2DS has sold 2.1 million. 30% increase
|
which is okay but not amazing or great for a brand new model (that's also priced cheaper).
Also kinda confirms that 3DS has peaked. last fiscal year 13.95m shipped, this year 13.5m targeted.
2DS is either bringing in new customers, while the potential remaining 3DS customer base is shrinking rather fast
or the 3DS customer base is slightly shrinking while its remaining customer base sees the 2DS as an equal purchasing product that is replacing the idea of buying a 3DS.
