Just want to say that, while 3DS is down YoY atm, it won't be for long. 3DS sold well for the first 3 months of 2012 because of an $80 price cut in 2011. During Q3/Q4 3DS didn't sell that well, that's why 2012 sales aren't a big jump from 2011 sales.
For 2013, 3DS is selling better per week then it did in 2012, and the gap will likely grow with Animal Crossing releasing in North America, and especially Pokemon's release. Plus we don't know what other games will release this fall for 3DS.

For Wii U, yes it's having a slow start, but have faith. PS4 and Infinity are rumored to cost $500 or so at launch, where Wii U is $300/$350. Wii U also has had very little software, where Wii released with a main Zelda entry and Wii Sports. Once Mario Kart 8 and Wii Fit U come out, Wii U sales should boom.
8th gen is going to start slow, for all consoles, mostly because the 7th gen lasted so long, and because the graphical jump to PS4/Infinity isn't that large. There are so many PS3/360 games out there, people aren't ready to migrate yet. Remember how long it took PS2 fans to migrate to the PS3? Well this gen it's going to take even longer, so don't expect Wii U sales to really go nuts until 2014 or 2015.
