Agreed, and I also voted 16m+.
Compare the two years in NA --
major retail releases in the first half of 2012: Resident Evil: Revelations Mario & Sonic at the 2012 London Olympic Games Tales of the Abyss Metal Gear Solid 3D: Snake Eater Kid Icarus: Uprising Mario Tennis Open
major retail releases scheduled for the first half of 2013: Brain Age: Concentration Training Fire Emblem: Awakening Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate Animal Crossing: New Leaf

Thanks for the list! Really proves the point.
I expect a 3DS redesign early next year. The DS Lite also launched very early in the year and the number of releases in March in the west is just too much to be a coincidence: Brain Age, Luigi's Mansion, Monster Hunter, Castlevania and an aweful lot of eShop titles. Also, Monster Hunter 4 in March in Japan... it's not guaranteed but it would make sense.
