The increase from last year is because  the term "nintendo" is way more relevant this holiday than last holiday, thanks to the switch, which adds on to the pokemon effect.

In the US (and probably most other territories too, the best selling 3DS games this year, as per npd goes like this:

1. Pokemon: Ultra Sun
2. Pokemon: Ultra Moon
3. Pokemon: Sun
4. Pokemon: Moon
5. Super Mario Maker
6. Metroid: Samus Returns
7. Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadow of Valentia
8. Super Smash Bros.
9. Mario Kart 7
10. Poochy and Yoshi's Wolly World

To say pokemon is not the driving force of 3ds sales is beyond stupid.

Edit: and as like zorg1000 said, there were 3ds shortages late last year as well.

NPD doesn't count bundles. The cheap 2DS at 79.99 is what caused the boost. The holidays are all about deals. Stop being ignorant for the sake of it. 

 

Nothing implies that Pokemon is the system seller you are making it put to be.

Huh? 79.99 is not a deal. It's the normal goddamn price. It's been that price since the may of 2016.  It's not all the sudden that 79.99 came into play and people started buying 3ds's just now. 

You literally have no proof whatsoever for your claims, whereas I layed down cold hard facts.
