This is an excellent article to read. It shows the sales of the GBA, DS, and 3DS together, and shows how the DS was really a perfect storm of sorts that hit the market at the perfect time in the perfect way, and cannot be replicated again. While Nintendo lost those non-gamers who didn't have that much of a real interest in gaming, they've actually grown their core user base of real gamers over the years.
Or... is this all spin? How do you guys feel about this? (Please disregard his comment about the Vita, I felt it was out of place too).
