Why you shouldnt be angry at the New 3DS

[S.Peelman]

I agree it's not the best idea to split your user-base usually, but I do think people are seriously overreacting.

All this is, is like a 'premium' version of the 3DS line. It's not like this move is unprecedented. All but a handful of games will work on both models, because even if they fade out the current model, they also have the 2DS to consider. Only those games which are too heavy for the regular 3DS or 2DS to run properly, will make use of this model's extra juice. That's it. Our 3DS's aren't obsolete all of a sudden.
