I place the onus on that decline primarily on the lack of compelling software. The biggest hitter in the West this holiday season (for both systems) was a Paper Mario game. By contrast, Japan's handhelds are holding up just fine, notwithstanding that they've had a stronger mobile presence for at least half a decade before the West ever did.

I expect this fortune to begin reversal this year, as good software finally begins to leave Japan. I don't expect this generation to hit the heights of the prior one, largely due to bad decisions by both hardware makers (especially Sony), but if there's yet another decline this year I'll eat a juicy hamburger as punishment.

If the 3DS isn't up year over year in 2013, then we'll finally have to accept that American and European consumers are stupid and don't know what's good for them.

If they were stupid, they should buy a 3ds with brain training. See? Nintendo got everyone covered :D
