That's not true at all. The momentum for the 3DS didn't really start until they released Mario Kart 7. That was what saved the 3DS. That, Mario 3D Land, and a price cut. Together. The 3DS would not have done "fine" without Mario Kart.

Yes, it would.

And the price cut was done MONTHS before MK7. Refer to the data even here to see how much difference just that made.

August to September was the spike it got with the price cut. December and January was the spike it got with 3D Land and MK 7.
