yea and its also the 4th best year in the 7th/8th gen! Why do you feel the need to post the negative things? Last i checked 3DS is dominated like crazy in japan!

To be fair, Nintendo won't really care if it's 'winning' or not, they're more interested in the raw numbers. With such strong software coming out for it, you'd have to say mobile gaming has started to erode the handheld market in Japan. Next year will be really interesting.

Already posted.

I think you meant has dominated, is dominated sounds like that other consoles are dominating it.

I'm just posting a fact. I think it's safe to say that the 3DS peaked already in Japan.

yes 2012 was its peak, it can definitely still do 3mil+ a year for the next 2 years in japan
