They were never major, at least in rational people's minds.

Considering Luigi's Mansion 2 was difficult to find at retail, and it was released near the end of the month, #6 is very impressive.

I thought Gears and God would chart lower. I wonder why TR sales only consider the console versions.

PC gaming propping up the industry in SW!
Yowza. New consoles needed ASAP.
Lego city got a lot of advertising. Most Wii U commercials I've seen since the launch.

Both Bioshock and Tomb Raider deserved their high sales. Both are GREAT games that I really enjoyed.

It obviously didn't work. Some people read way too much into that game.
That was with digital too. Hard to say.

MORE THAN 20 MILLION PHYSICAL COPIES OF NINTENDO 3DS GAMES HAVE BEEN SOLD IN THE U.S.
April 18, 2013
Fueled by strong starts for Luigi's Mansion™: Dark Moon and Pokémon™ Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity, and the continued strength of Fire Emblem Awakening, Nintendo 3DS™ crossed 20 million total units of software sold at retail in the United States, according to the NPD Group.
Some notable sales numbers* achieved by Nintendo in March include:
- Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon sold nearly 365,000 physical units in March, and has now sold more than 415,000 combined physical and digital units to date.
- Fire Emblem Awakening sold an additional 64,000 combined physical and digital physical copies in March, and has now sold more than 240,000 combined units to date.
- Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity sold more than 145,000 combined physical and digital units for the month.
- Total sales of Nintendo 3DS software at retail increased by more than 50 percent over March 2012.
That momentum should only grow in the next few months as Nintendo prepares for a massive slate of Nintendo 3DS software releases, including: LEGO® City Undercover: The Chase Begins on April 24, Donkey Kong Country™ Returns 3D on May 24, Animal Crossing™: New Leaf on June 9 and Mario and Luigi™: Dream Team on Aug. 11.
Additionally, in a Nintendo Direct that aired on April 17, Nintendo announced or provided more details about new entrants in the Yoshi's Island™, Mario Party™, The Legend of Zelda™ and Mario Golf™ franchises for the Nintendo 3DS system.
Wii U™ owners have a ton of great games to look forward to from Nintendo and its third-party partners, including Game & Wario™ on June 23, Pikmin™ 3 on Aug. 4, Disney's Planes from Disney Interactive on Aug. 6 and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell® Blacklist™ from Ubisoft® on Aug. 20. At the upcoming E3 trade show in June in Los Angeles, Nintendo expects to show attendees upcoming Wii U games from the Mario Kart™, Super Mario Bros.™ and Super Smash Bros.™ franchises.
*Data regarding physical sales of games in March are from the NPD Group. Data regarding digital downloads of games and combined physical/digital life-to-date numbers are from Nintendo's internal sales figures. All numbers are specific to the United States only.

Top 4 seem about. Congrats to Bioshock for selling the most while being out for the least amount of time.

It's actually way lower on the chart than where it was last year. But there were a lot more games this March than last.
I didn't think it'd move units, but I sure thought it would outsell that crappy zombie game...

Luigi over the Show is crazy.
