This.
I remember watdching the NPD and Media Create threads back in 2006 when it started getting huge. The DSLite + price drop had an unreal effect on hardware sales. Holiday 2006 was insane for the DS, as about 4.5 million units were moved in December. 2007's holiday was even better with somewhere around 8 million units.
December 2012 and 2013 is where the real 3DS trends will emerge. If it can see an increase in 2013 holiday sales my good margins, it should be noted as a good success for Nintendo. If not, you'll see the handheld start taking a lot of flak.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
