DSi released in late 2008, DSi XL in late 2009 in Japan and DSi in early 2009 in the West, DS was overall down YOY in 2009, was that a waste as well?

New 3DS was never meant to be some magical sales beast that would elevate 3DS to the heavens, it's a stopgap upgrade meant to extend the life of 3DS by a year or so. In that sense, it did it's job.

a little bit yes.

Still doesnt make what i said untrue. It got a a small boost but the end result would most likely would have ended the same
