3DS is on fire over there. Iwata wasn't kidding last year when he said they would take every possible measure to ensure 3DS was a worthy successor to the first DS.

I think 2013 will surpass 2012 in sales, too. If you look at the release slate in Japan, they've got Monster Hunter 4, Shin Megami Tensei IV, Dragon Quest VII, Luigi's Mansion... all exclusives. Big, big year for 3DS.

Okay, I think 2013 will be the biggest year of the 3DS so far. In addition to great games that will be launched in Japan, they have system sellers (and important games) in the West since the beginning of the year. Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, Luigi's Mansion, Monster Hunter and Castlevania, all in the first 3 or 4 months. Imagine what will come in the second half: a new Zelda? New Kirby? Donkey Kong? Other franchises? More Mario? Pokémon? Anyway, there are several games that can launch to turn 2013 into a year even more powerful for the 3DS.
