Am I missing something or is this just completely wrong? Looking at the weekly chart index shows the 3DS way above these numbers for those weeks and actually quite similar to how the Switch is doing currently.

Yep they are wrong. Here are the weeks before and after the successor released for the 3DS and DS:

Week	3DS	DS	Switch
1	105,360	92,318	109,744
2	36,735	35,970	57,846
3	28,735	25,305	47,574
4	25,992	24,792	45,339
5	27,264	26,104	44,357
6	26,754	25,278	43,681
7	21,820	21,096	40,019
3DS launch	22,389	19,605	39,188
Switch launch	25,758	17,647	45,198
10	23,827	14,144	37,853
11	44,821	14,904	27,911
12	42,754	19,166	30,518
13	33,476	20,046	30,504
14	25,738	17,695	35,058
15	23,916	14,789	25,047
16	22,397	12,247	25,421
17	22,754	15,277	25,096
18	26,175	17,225	30,988
19	16,912	8,935	29,710
20	17,132	8,436	24,478
21	17,762	8,746	N/A
22	15,897	8,829	N/A
Switch 2 launch	14,989	8,869	N/A
24	14,738	9,469	N/A
25	14,523	8,173	N/A
26	15,442	8,313	N/A

Or in other words both consoles don't drop to their new base lines (around 15k and 8-9k respectively) until about 2 months after the launch of the successor.

Edit: Switch added. I wasn't sure if I had to add the week ending Jan 4th, since it's week included in the last year according to VGChartz (because of aligning with NPD) but it's numbers are similar to the first week of 3DS and DS for those years too, so I included it here.
