Down 5% YoY isn't really a good thing, it should be up for the early portion of the year at least because of the New 3DS launch in NA and Europe. Jan-March 2014 didn't really have anything interesting for the 3DS.

This is just for Japan.

Last year 3DS had Kirby Triple Deluxe & Dragon Quest Monster 2 in the first two months, this year it has Majora's Mask 3D. The fact that this is its 5th year and has a worse lineup than last year thus far makes it pretty impressive that it is showing barely any decline.
