3DS is interesting to follow because of the $80 price cut it got in 2011, early 2012 sales were exceptionally strong. I think 2013 can top 2012, but it will be down YoY for a while.

I think it'll start to go up in May or June -- last spring/summer was pretty barren until Kingdom Hearts at the end of July. Then it might be down again in August because of the XL. Then, as you said, "Pokémon... oh my."
