The DS had plenty of revisions, the same amount as the 3DS in fact.

There was the ugly DS at launch in December 2004 and the DSlite afterward in March 2006. DSi was released in November 2008.

There's a stark difference between that release schedule than what Nintendo did with 3DS. Launched in 2011, first remodel in 2012. 2DS launched in 2013 (irrelevant for Japan, but it still exists) and the new3DS launched in 2014. The overall number isn't as important as their freqency imo.

DS-Dec 2004 vs 3DS-Feb 2011

DS Lite-Mar 2006 vs 3DS XL-July 2012

DSi-Nov 2008 vs New 3DS-Oct 2014

DSi XL-Nov 2009 vs New 3DS XL-Oct 2014

It's basically the same scenario
