I think Nintendo knew what they were doing when they didn't add a second circle pad to the XL. It's only been barely a year since the original 3DS model released. It's too early to add something with such big implications to it so early on in its lifetime. Nintendo may be looking further down the road to do it, or may not do it at all with the 3DS and use it on their next gen handheld as they may think it's too late to make everyone happy.
Us gamers are more vocal about our opinions, so we don't realize how many other 3DS owners may rage out on Nintendo for adding a second circle pad.
