Is it just me or 3DS is... Magicians's Quest announced! New Scans for Layton vs Ace Attorney! Toriko First Screens, it's a... RPG?

It will definitely do well, but I'm not sure how an XL 3DS will be a boon to the system in Japan. It pretty much goes against the "slimmer" model that has been successful since...forever.

The japanese people received the XL pretty well, I believe. Most sales after it was released were from the new, more expensive model. I think this is a good move because one does not cancel the other - it's an option. Better shelf-exposure because of that too.

But that just my anedoctal guesstimate analysis. I'm just glad, as I think the DSi XL is the best DS by far.

It was my impression that the most popular DS model in Japan (and probably everywhere) was the DS Lite. Not saying that the XL 3DS won't boost sales, just that I think a slimmer model would be a much larger boost.
