When I saw the title I guessed who wroted thread...!New 3ds is the answer to all,even for the decline before the announcement,nintendo delayed the revision a lot.A revision comes to boost sales like all revisions of Nintendo!Lets wait for 2015 to see how 3ds compares to dsi...!
Thanks to new 3ds,is possible for 3ds to have similar sales with those of 2011,2012 and 2013 if not have an big increasment,which is good!
If nintendo hadn't release new 3ds this year in Japan,3ds would be lower!Now it compares to its peak year in Japan(2013), and why not the same happens in USA/EU in 2015...!
