The upcoming 12-month period will likely be the 3DS's hardware peak, yes. But software sales (and thus profits) will continue to grow for several more years. That's how the console cycle works. The truth is that the 3DS will be making Nintendo way more money in 2015 when it's selling fewer hardware units but way more software than it is this year.
