This is the exact problem. I work for Gamestop and when I mention the 3DS to most consumers they say they just bought a DS and aren't really worried about having a 3D version of the same thing.
Nintendo did a horrible job of marketing the device and they should have changed the name to reflect it being a true successor and not just another DS redisign. They also should have given it a different look as well to tell the difference between the two.
As a whole most people don't realize the 3DS is an entirely new system and instead think its Nintendo just further adding more DS version like the DSi and XL. Horrible job on Nintendo for the marketing of this system.
