For what&#8217;s it worth though, 3DS really did pick up in 2011 towards the end and it looks like it&#8217;ll do just fine.  The PS3 vs. Wii match was pretty close as well and I&#8217;m now I&#8217;m excited to see Wii U debut as it will likely be the the only new console to come out in 2012.  DS posted some impressive numbers despite its age and Xbox 360&#8230;well, it certainly did better than its predecessor in its respective year, but sales this year will probably drop way down unless a big title comes out.
