The 3DS by now has more than sufficient "Nintendo franchise cred" yet it's keeping up with its yearly pace rather than accelerating.

Actually 3DS is selling better YoY now, 2012 had a strong start because of the $80 price cut, Mario Kart7, and Super Mario 3D Land in late 2011, but now that the effect has worn down a bit, 3DS is doing better week over week. Annual sales should but up, but it's iffy if 3DS will get the 20 million sales DS go in its 2nd full year.

However, having said that it is arguable that Nintendo "never" lost America, because they never had it. It was always Xbox over there this gen, if we ignore the early Wii craze.

bs, what about SNES?

Plus Wii is still #1 in North America, yes 360 will likely beat Wii, but for now Nintendo still "has" North America, and in a few months it's still contending for it. The OP argues that with Wii U, Nintendo is no longer contesting lead sales.
