jesterscourt said:I'm really scratching my head over the very early announcement of the 3DS. I understand the target demographic of the DSiXL were older folks, and to buy it as a "portable console" for families, but it sure seems like they are going to cannibalize the sales of the XL with the 3d announcement.
I think they made a good decision by quietly announce it with a press statement instead of glamorizing at some big show.
Like this, folks like us who follow the scene and still decide to get an XL, can't really curse Nintendo for releasing the new hardware next year.
Imagine if you would have gotten one today and next week the outrageously announcement would be done , how betrayed would you feel ?
This way we know it's coming, and still the big masses aren't really affected by the news.
I think it was fair of them to let us know before buying an XL.
I still wanted one, and I got it this morning and I certainly don't regret it !
