Will 3ds catch up 2012 in terms of HW sales?

I know it will, and it will sell more than 2012's HW sales.

Why?
SMTIV
MH4
LM:DM
Pokemon X/Y
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
Animal Crossing for NA and EU
Fire Emblem for EU
A possible LoZ 3DS game
Some great Level 5 games coming to Japan, Youkai Watch being just one of them.

Last year had some great titles, but looking at 2013 (and we don't even have all of the games announced yet), it looks much better and has a much much much higher potential for pushing hardware.

You forgot about Dragonball & Professor Layton, which are both doing great in global sales in the top 6 for currently while only being available in Japan for now.

I didn't forget Professor Layton as I said "Level 5 games," which includes any and all of them.
As for Dragonball, I did not think about it, but I am mostly thinking about what games may make the most impact.
