Why would Nintendo place the battery life of it's maximum setting on their official site? That seems so weird. 

Have you seen the DSi battery life??:

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/series/dsi/spec/index.html

Nintendo always play safe putting their systems under the worst scenario possible.

I'm sorry, but I can't see what your pointing out on the link. Are you referring to this:

 

Minimum luminance
Low brightness
Intensity of
High brightness
Maximum luminance

About 9 to 14 hours
Approximately 8 to 12 hours
Approximately 6 to 9 hours
About 4 to 6 hours
About 3 to 4 hours

Depends on the software used ※.

It also mentions all the other settings and battery life for the DSi, you can't really take that and compare it to a single stat for another device. It only shows that Nintendo could have listed the hours of battery life for the other settings, but they chose not to. Instead they put down 3 to 5 hours for 3DS play time and they mention it's for 'soft play', I don't see how the link you posted disputes that. I could be looking in the wrong place though or I'm just not understanding.

What do you think about the other points I made?
