I'm really concerned about the attach rate of the 3DS.
The DS had an attach rate of ~5.66 after six and a half years and lots of piracy.
The 3DS has an attach rate of ~4.2 after four years (with a successor probably rushing in a year and a half from now) and a disappointing mass-appeal lineup.

Well, digital sales are hidden and we aren't able to know how many games were sold through them.

Of course we know: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/library/historical_data/pdf/consolidated_sales_e1506.pdf

233.58 million 3DS software sales (retail + digital) / 53.07 million 3DS hardware units = attach rate of 4.4

"Nintendo 3DS software includes the downloadable version of Nintendo 3DS card software", so only the smaller eShop titles without retail release are excluded.
