Are you sure? Just an assumption! How can you be so certain? Prematurely replaced by  fat ds... Remember, ds became a hot thing after the release of ds lite in the end of 2006,!

Fat sold just 16m in its first two years ( and another 2m in the end ) ...What 3ds sold in its first year! Gba in fat ds years sold 8m more than it! Fat ds failed to steal gba's thunder but ds lite destroyed it!

 

Ok,  lets cut the comparison in three years when there was no ds, 3ds vs GBA , 41m vs 51m... Smaller gap than in the  5 years comparison, which includes ds release! You just made an abortive attemp of... You know! Unless, I misunderstood you intent, if so, then forgive me!

There's virtually no chance the GBA wouldn't have hit 100 million at the minimum with a proper full 5-6 year cycle like the 3DS has had. 

  The thrend of it sales wasn't pointing to that.. I provided  the comparison  of 3ds vs gba in  three years ! How gba would have sold 49m in two years, when it had started to decline after  peaking in its third year? It sold 17m in its third year!

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2004/040728e.pdf GBA was down yoy by 1m in FY04 Q1 and ds hadn't be revealed then!

And again,  4th and 5th year of gba include fat ds, I told you that it sold only 16m and gba 24m! Would these 16m consumers have purchased gba if there was no fat ds, and how many of these were already owning a gba?

 

DS  was released only in Japan and NA in 2004, sold in  5m! Wow it affected gba sales, really! GBA sold 15m then!

Don't you see it? You exaggerate!
