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.

Oh, it was. But that was in the DS golden years. I don't think that "age" could be repeated... ever again. DS Lite sold what Nintendo could manufacture.
The market changed a lot after that, imo.
But I think this is not even a remodel. It's a new model. So in the future (like next year) they might slim down both of the current models.
