...and why do they split the 3DS and 3DS LL. it's not like they don't play the same games. it's about as relevant is separating the wifi and wifi+3G vita's..

Actually that's important to know.

If 66% of 3DS owners in Japan buy a 3DS XL model, and only 33% buy the regular, then Nintendo know that to improve sales, they should bundle games, and make colour variations for the XL models as a priority.

It also tells Nintendo that for future consoles, they should release an XL model first (since it's the more popular model) and then release a smaller version.

Plus it also tell Nintendo how important other factors (like the better battery life on the XL model) are.

I hope NOA catches on to this, Nintendo of Europe has released some awesome 3DS colours, and we only get the tacky two tone red or blue models. I want a solid white or solid black 3DS XL!
