YEAH!, i dont care if a console or a handheld gets a new version, BUT i do have a problem if they lock games to that version of the system, and your example is the best interpretation of it.

If i had bought a 3DS and i realized that the games that i wanted to play didnt work on my version of the system and that i had to buy a NEW 3DS model to play them i would be pretty pissed... i would easily be saying stuff like F#CK YOU NINTENDO.

This should be a NEW Nintendo handheld.

It's just a matter of perspective. To some people it is a new handheld. To others it's like the DSi. If you view it as"3DSi" it's understandable why you'd be upset, but people who view it as a new handheld aren't disappointed in any way. I think it's between both personally.

 

Nintendo has a problem when they give a name to their products, we already now how much of a problem the WII "U" name was, and now this 3DS... they should name it in a way that people know that its a NEW handheld

The name is literally NEW 3DS, i dont think they could make it anymore clear to consumers that its a new product.

i tought that the name was just 3DS LL (in japan) and its going to be 3DS XL in north america (when it releases there), but if they actually name it the NEW 3DS XL then its kind of OK, but i still think that its gonna be a problem...

Because there is gonna be people who are gonna see the "new 3DS XL" as just simply a new version of the same "3DS XL", with extra buttons and better hardware, but they wont think that some games will only be playable on the "new 3DS XL", (of course im talking of less informed people like fathers and mothers who just want to give a present to their children).

there is a lot of people on this very same thread that are treating this "NEW 3DS XL" as just simply a new handheld from nintendo and not just a new version of the same hardware, because actually thats really what this feels like, it has improved hardware in terms of specs, buttons and a new analog stick, and if nintendo keep giving exclusive games to just this "new 3ds xl" then it really is just a new handheld and it should have a totally different name.

not just "NEW NINTENDO 3DS" because people might interprate that as a new version of the same handheld and NOT a new handheld  with exclusive games not playable on the old 3DS...
