I think Nintendo have jumped too soon on the 3D hype. Sure, 3D is nice, but something like glassless has never been implemented on a widespread environment before. And well, if it makes users fatigued and dizzy, I'm going to say I believe it for now. Simply because if you go to a movie theater you will be pretty eye fatigued in about an hour. Judging from the screen proximity to your eyes and the special screen, this time frame is hugely reduced.
I, for one, will not be picking up the initial model. It was a big mistake to do that with the DS, seeing as it was fugly and the DS Lite totally destroyed it. And same applies to the 3DS: it /IS/ ugly (to me, at least). I don't get how Nintendo don't learn with their mistakes/corrections and instead of starting fresh, they are practically grabbing the DS Phat case, making it glossier and changing (obviously!) the hardware. What happened to being "even smaller"? I'm looking at even bulkier here. But the market tendency is for all things to get larger, right?
