Watched that ad again, but today I've gone to a mall, and saw what was obvious: despite 3DS list price being now lower than DSi XL, street prices are like they should be, retailers are now discounting DSi XL to make it up to 20€ cheaper than 3DS. Now I'm less surprised by sales, the huge marketing drove 3DS sales up again despite the lack of new big games (but the long version of the ads announces a few of them, the Ninty published ones), but DS itself went a little up too, despite the attack from its own younger brother, because retailers themselves fixed what was the worst part of Nintendo's new marketing, so 3DS enjoyed the marketing push, but DS didn't suffer the backlash.
