It was more upadjustments to NPD numbers.

They were low in NA before them.

But did the 3DS shoot past the 360 in America with Fire Emblem, or did it happen during Luigi's reign?

You cant just look at an event isolated from everything else. Purchasing behaviour isnt math, theres lots of factors that influence it positively and negatively.

I'm glad you enjoy Luigi's mansion though. I personally have been on the fence with that one, but it looks good.

The 3DS victory is secured without pokemon even hitting the market yet. 3DS is secure, focus on Wii U now.

Games can and should tell stories and share ideas through their mechanics. This is the intrinsic element of the medium and this is how experiences should be crafted in video games. No company does this as well as Nintendo and their echoes from the past.
