While I'm not going to say piracy had no effect on the GBA and DS, your description is nothing like the way I've interpreted the life cycle of these systems. Both had a steady stream of titles of interest to me throughout their life cycles (which I obtained legally). Here are some third party titles released more than 18 months after the system came out which are currently sitting on my shelf: Castlevania Portrait Of Ruin, N+, The World Ends With You, Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure, Scribblenauts, and Retro Game Challenge. Of course, it's nothing new that Nintendo systems have a relative lack of mature titles, and that a lot of the best titles are from Nintendo themselves. But I've made it this far being relatively pleased with the software available, and the 3DS is almost here.
