There is a very big firmware update coming at the end of next month.  Voice chat is suspected to be one of the big features of the firmware. Why in teh world would you need blue tooth for voice chat?  Do you have any idea what blue tooth even is?

Nintendo has no interest in adding 3G or 4G to their systems.  They do not want their customers to be tied down to 3rd party service contracts.

The parallax barrier screen can't be changed out for a new type of screen.  You lose compatability with the programmed content already in circulation and vice versa.


The firmware updates can add a lot of the features people are wanting.  

blue tooth is a wireless tech for communicating with devices -- of which headsets are the most common.  lol if you think you're going to get solid voice chat out of that mic in the 3DS.  nintendo abandoned wii speak in favor of the wii head set for a reason...

but you completely missed the point.  no one looked at the original DS and said ... well damn, if only it had camera's.  that "need" came later after other company's and nintendo made you decide you needed it.  i might not have the imagination to know what's comming but believe you me ... in the next 6ish years of the 3DS lifecycle new things will come that you will suddenly think the 3DS needs.  revisions will come.

 

oh and i call BS on your parallax barrier screen argument.  game developers aren't programing their games directly to the screen output.  that's what firmware is for.
