Eh, your own chart lists "Others" as shipping 99.1 million units in 2015 alone. "Others" means a lot of shitty Chinese tablets and no-name tablet makers ... that's a huge, huge market. 

The 3DS shipped 9 million last year. 

If Nintendo can get even the same marketshare at Huwaei, which isn't exactly Apple, and add in their usual portable/console Nintendo buyer, that's 6 million or so tablet folkes and probably another 6-7 Nintendo faithful types .... that's 12-14 million shipments a year ... that is a decent number for Nintendo. 

If they were to sell a "4DS", they would be selling only 6-7 million a year. 

Don't be silly... The only thing those "Others" prove is how competitive the market is... If Companies like Apple, Samsung, Lenovo and Asus can't take market share away from them, I doubt Nintendo can. These are world wide shipments so those "Others" are probably in places where companies generally don't launch their devices or there are some reasons for those. Otherwise the top companies would be taking market share away from them instead of being down YoY.

And you do realize that getting the non-faithful types is the challenge because of the stiff competition?
