Platform-wise breakup

• Nintendo 3DS - 8
• Nintendo Wii U - 3
• PC - 2
• Nintendo DS - 1
• Windows Phone - 1

Obviously Nintendo was the platform of choice this year, especially the 3DS. It is just more comfortable for me to play handheld. The Wii U's gamepad has generally been criticised, but I love the off-TV play feature. Most of the time was playing on the gamepad like a handheld, while others used the TV. This is an awesome, awesome feature.
