It seems like a lot of you are acting as if Nintendo is completely starting over again with this handheld. Which I get, but its not that case at all, there's a reason why DS is a part of the name and not just because of two screens, but it is very much a successor to the DSi. The original DS was not a successor to the GBA (though the clamp SP design was clearly a large influence), it was meant to be a third tier in gaming (in case it wasn't a success, though clearly it was), so they threw the gba functionality in it as a backup measure not to lose business, a good call but as time and the DSi proved, the gba functionality was no longer necessary. Anyway, I'm rambling, the point I'm making is the 3DS is a continuation of the DS, so they've clearly taken what works best for that system (levels of brightness, thickness, home type button, etc.) and implemented and improved on it in the 3DS. For that reason, I can't see a lite version ever coming into existence. However, as previously stated, a 3DSXL does seem like a likely possibility in the years to come. Though honestly I wouldn't want that, the DSiXL doesn't fit in my pocket, and I can play and see perfectly fine on my regular DSi. Essentially what I'm saying is, there may be one revision, but I can not see any more than one revision for the system, it seems almost perfect as it is.
