If I recall correctly, first deliveries in Japan were in January, 2012, so worldwide, it has passed the three year mark. First deliveries in the US were May, 2012.
Not sure what to compare it to. All models drop off over time if there is not a refresh, or if there is an anticipated new model coming out. To your point, I don't think most fall off 30 or 40% quite as quickly as US sales have though, but I don't watch sales that closely.
Someone with more time than I care to spend could got to goodcarsbadcars.com and pull stats for a few similar models to see how they did before and after introduction I suppose.
