Soundwave on 16 January 2013
I don't see much changing, and I don't think the Marios/Smash Bros./etc. will do much either.
The DS had a rough post-launch but started to get going within about 7-8 months with Nintendogs and then Brain Training coming in Japan.
The 3DS had a poor launch, but had Monster Hunter exclusivity (the biggest third party handheld series) announced and MH3G soon after.
Where's the Wii U equivalent? I get the feeling Nintendo thought Mario + Black Ops 2 + Nintendo Land would carry them into the spring.
