So, from Jan to Sep, 3DS sales are down by more than 28% from last year.

No, shipments were down, and after all a new model was released last August.

It's always about shipment, mate. Hopefully, the 3DS can sell 10M from October to December to make up the difference in shipment from last year.

Why? What's the difference whether it's up or down over an arbitrary 12-month period? It'll be up this quarter over the same quarter last year. The biggest quarter of the year by far, the quarter that frequently accounts for as many sales as the other 3 quarters combined.

Companies don't even measure or care about January-through-December sales. They use the fiscal year, April-through-March. So toss out your numbers and start over from April if you're going by what it's "always about."
