Might want to read the bolded part.

And more accurately I should have said it helps them in Japan, but not incredibly so lately.  Nintendo is trying to combine a market that they have only dominated once AND a market they always dominated, but is a dying market.  Not really seeing an extremely positive result for them.

Outside of Japan, 3DS shipped about 21 million from March 2011 to Sept 2013 (2.5 years) and about 17 million from Oct 2013 to March 2016 (2.5 years).

Not really the hige decline you're making it out to be.

Hmm. I'm guessing there's a reason you went with 2.5 years.  Let's use 3 years.  

In it's first 3 years on sale, the 3DS shipped 27M outside of Japan.  As of March 2016, it has shipped an additional 10.5M.  Do you honestly think it's going to ship an additional 16.5M in the next year outside of Japan?  Or even 12.5M to match your 4M decline? Hell, last year it only did 8.5M WW.  Yea, that's quite the decline.
