I doubt theyll have a new 3DS with a NFC built in to it for the same reason they didnt add a second circle pad to the 3DSXL. Could make people pissed.

I see where ur coming from but the CCP was never meant to be a huge deal, only a few 3rd party titles used it and left-handed Kid Icarus players. On the other hand, Amiibo's are clearly meant to be a driving force for Wii U/3DS in the coming years with multiple 1st party games already announced to support them so having a sku without the need for an add-on would be great for potential onwners.

I think theyll wait to see how popular it gets before they do it though. If the Amiibos flop, then theyll have a useless feature that will up the cost of every 3DS for them.
