Wouldn't 2005 be only a year after the release of the DS, though? 2013 is two years after the release of the 3DS.

AKA, the 3DS is dead compared to the DS.

Yes, I guess it is when compared to the DS. (For now, I still think it'll pick up a ton)

What does that say for the gaming industry though? 3DS is triple the 2nd best selling system of the year...

It says that in Japan matching a juggernaut like the DS will be close to impossible. It's not knocking the 3DSes performance per se (it's performing well for the market it's currently in) it's just highlighting what a phenomenon the DS was after the Lite/NSMBU/Nintendogs/Brain Training boom, and how different the market was for dedicated portables back then.
