2012 was quite crap tbh. Wii was dead, PS3 had ok games, but nothing like 2009-2011. 3DS had a decent start to 2012, but the holidays was a big letdown. Vita meh... 360 tbf had Halo.
Overall I agree, 2012 was one of the worst years, nothing really stood out for me. 2013 looks decent though, especially for 3DS owners! Wii U will be pushed as well, 360 and PS3 will have their last hurrah with a possibility of new console releases. It's a quite exciting year!
