3DS needs a revision for the summer to help spur sales + momentum as their software release is rather weak going forward, except for MH4.

umm... pokemon? Not trying state the obvious but i think nintendo are banking on pokemon to carry them through until a new revision. The first pokemon on any system is a sales demon for the system itself.

Plus we got the xl last year, i don't think nintendo would make hardware revisions every year, even though i think they should consider it with the way tech is today.

Summer release is barren. Pokemon is October - Winter sched. Nintendo would be wise to release a new 3DS model in the Summer, near the release of MH4. 3DS YTD is below last year's - not good if Iwata wants to achieve its 18 million 3DS by end of Fiscal-Year - March.
