6th gen as in GCN-GBA era?
GBA was a bit of a different beast in Japan, the significant shift with the DS that happened is that with 3D graphics being possible on handhelds, many people in Japan started using handhelds not just as a companion device but as their main gaming console period.
Also DS had a bit of a strange launch which initially kinda caused Nintendo's handheld momentum from the GBA to stutter during a bit of transition phase until Nintendo found their footing with Nintendogs around spring 2005.
