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.

yes, there is a reason why i went with 2.5 years, because that is roughly half of its current life. The 1st half vs the 2nd half.

Sorry, the 3DS has seen a massive decline in sales. And the hard truth is, it's launch year was its peak year.  It went from over 15M, to just shy of 15M, to just shy of 13M, to about 8M, to last year's 7.5M (actually worse than what I originally calculated.)  And this year it started the first quarter down by about 750K YOY. Not very good.
