Also, I don't know why people are bitching about it. If you just bought a 3DS, you should have expected an upgrade or new console to be coming sometime in 2015 (which is when this will reach us) or 16. If you bought it at launch you've had lots of life out of it already and more still to come. And new titles like Smash, etc, are still being made for all 3DS models.

And seriously, without the upgrade Xenoblade wouldn't have happened on the old 3DS models. So it's not like you're missing out on something you could have had. If you don't want to buy the new model, don't play Xenoblade, play the other games that are possible on classic 3DS. You didn't buy a 3DS expecting to play Xenoblade.
