Okay, I see your points but the 3DS didn't end down YOY (I believe I am correct). Sure it barely squeaked by on the positive side for 2012 but there really wasn't that much pushing it in Americas/Europe this holiday season. They released Paper Mario and a few other games. If they didn't release Animal Crossing in Japan then the 3DS would have been down YOY. If they released Animal Crossing WW (world wide not wild world!) then there would have been better numbers in Americas/Europe. Sure Animal Crossing in Japan is a bigger deal (for hand helds) but it has a decent following in USA and Europe. I fear nothing for Nintendo when looking at the 2013 line up for the 3DS
