As silly as this may be, but all the talk about the second slide pad keeps me from buying a 3DS. It's hard to resist Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 (which I will of course play eventually), but right now there are a few Wii and DS games I want to play. And with the downsides of first gen 3DS (low battery life, one slide pad) I think I'll hold out a few more months.
Nintendo have themselves to blame, DSi was one iteration too many (and a pointless one). Now I just don't believe them when they say no revamped 3DS is coming soon.
