I think the term "domination" need a revisit in here. I haven't seen a single sliver of domination on the charts this year, the generation is effectively nearing an end.

3DS vs Vita? You can look at launch-aligned charts and see the domination...

How do you figure Nintendo dominated? The Wii U sold half what the PS3 and 360 did as of the December 15 charts.

As expected, and the Wii sold much better than expected. But Nintendo's domination was on the portable side.

Yeah true, I forgot about handhelds...I was only considering consoles.

Sure, but the Wii and Wii U combined didn't even beat the PS3 or the 360 last week, hardly domination overall. No one is denying that the 3DS is soundly beating the Vita, there can be no doubt about that, but claiming that MS and Nintendo have dominated December is flat out wrong in the big picture. Not to mention 2012 as whole.
