I say wait for practical tests to show up after the finished product is commercially available.
It isn't a stretch to assume that 3DS games will consume more power any way you cut it though. It's a given. Unless Nintendo made the 3DS batteries proportionately larger than the DSi, it will take a hit on battery performance.
If that's a deal-breaker, either you wait for a lower power model in another two years or you just buy an extra battery or two if you're that much of a "hardcore" portable gamer. Make yourself a battery bandoleer if you have to.
