Wow, the DS just plummeted from 07 to 08 and again from 10 to 11.

The second drop makes sense since that was the year the 3DS launched and it got a price cut shortly afterwards to help get it off the ground along with Mario Kart 7 + Super Mario 3D Land. Towards the 2nd half of the year was when the 3DS really got of its ass and started rolling, which effectively killed the DS.

But what the Hell happened from 07 to 08?
