Everyone here seems to forget that the phenomenon that drove the DS crazy sales was the Brain Age/Brain training series. Go back and look at what those games did for DS sales. Something like that might never happen again.
All the big franchise games on the 3DS are GREAT - but they don't reach out of the general gaming demographic. As a result - the universe of potential 3DS owners is finite for now. Thus the saturation point is lower. 3DS will end up with close to 5 mil sold in Japan this year - down about 10%. But even the mighty DS only had 2 years that were better than that - 2006 and 2007. So its not clear to me that there is a reason to be concerned about 3DS prospects.
