Can someone fill me in? Is there any reason why people think N3DS support comes before Feb 13? Or is this just baseless speculation? Also: What is the connection between SonyUSA and gateway?
No reason, skim through the thread.

SonyUSA has claimed that she is a GW beta tester, and she thinks n3ds support will come out around Feb 13 (which is also the date us n3ds comes out).
But all this is speculation. The only official GW stuff is always posted on their website or through GW's email (and a screenshot of that email posted on gbatemp doesn't count)
you guys have the memory of a goldfish,if you guys remember last time she said "it won't be long now" was a day or two before the weekend which update 3.0 ultra was released in. so i would say it's this weekend![]()
Well yeah, I definitely wouldn't trust any dates which came from anyone except for Garyopa and (maybe, although probably not) the Gateway Sales people. I'm only hoping for the 13th because it's the release of the US 3DS and it would kinda make sense for them to get a US 3DS early one way or another and then get support ready and added before then so they could get a ton of US customers right on release.
i wouldn't be surprised if Garyopa get's all his info from SonyUSA. she's FAR closer to the Gateway team than mr file host Garyopa.
How do we know that she's close to the team? Except the fact that she beta tested but she told us that she didn't get the beta from the team. Did I miss something?

2015.2.18 happy Chinese New YearWhen is Chinese New Year anyway?
We still don't know the actual firmware of the first US/EUR N3DS, better be careful with that to avoid giving people false hopes.
Even if probabilities seems high to have a 9.0~9.2 firmware, probabilities are only probabilities after all.
Let's either wait until Feb 13 (only 7 days left) or until someone manage to get one early and do a picture/video of it.
i read then i think my way,i don't read then follow/believe.
i could be wrong but i would say i'm 99.9% right that she's part of the Gateway team,Garyopa isn't though he's only the file host & provides a dedicated section on his forum for the GW card. he's no more than a close friend with the team.
Given that the Ambassador N3DS's shipped with 9.0 and the reviewcopies3DS XL's have been found to have 9,0, I think it's safe to say that there's a really, really good chance that Europe and North America will have their units shipping with 9.0 on board. Nintendo will probably be shipping in some 9.3 or above units as fast as they can though, like they did with the 3DS XL.
Oh then you shouldn't present your assumptions as facts mate![]()
Which reviews ? The only two reviewers I saw on youtube, personally, never shown the firmware version, nor the N3S on (at least, in front of the camera).
I also hope it's 9.0~9.2 but honestly, I don't see anything than can confirm it for sure until someone manage to get it early or find a demo unit in a shop (which should be the same than the retail ones).
Like you, I think that if they were really caring about updates, they would have updated Ambassadors ones, especially as they probably produced a really low numbers of them but well, I only believe what I see unfortunately.
That is my fear. Only 2 years out of the N3DS. I am good with 3. 2 years is so Apple.Developers Outline Their Ideas for Nintendo's Next Generation Handheld

I am fine with the concept of 3D just not this crap that hurts my boys and my eyes. I am happy other people enjoy it.they're comparing N3DS to DSi which also lasted 2 years before 3DS came out. looks like it's the way nintendo does it's own thing. anyway i hope the next gen handheld has 3D or i'mif i will buy it.
