No and you're numbers are misleading.

3DS XL sold best of all models... and its an original style 3DS, just larger.

All those sales point to is people want one of two options... really cheap or the larger model.

exactly my point.do you guys read OPs? gosh

THE MARKET is saying it wants those 2 and only those 2 models.

why should Nintendo keep the old one? shouldnt they release a new one and replace the one thats performing worst?

But how should they reposition it between the two extremes? They should find a way to make it recover any lost mid-range sales without affecting high and low-end. If this can be done, or if at least a new mid-range model can offer higher profit margin and higher overall profits of the whole 2-3DS range (that is if profit increase is higher than any possible decrease of the other models profits), then yes, they should definitely do it.
