Putting Sales aside - Do you consider the 3DS a better handheld than the DS was?

I personally feel that the 3DS is the best console of all time, but let it check. No question, DS was a great console too.

yadda yadda yadda, comparisons and stuff
better battery life vs. Streetpass, DLC and Virtual Console -> 3DS

15 wins for 3DS, 4 wins for DS, 2 ties. 3DS beats DS by a big margin. And that doesn't even take into account, that I can play all DS-games on my 3DS. And 3DS still gets more games, MH4 and Codename STEAM are coming at least.

I probably forgot one thing or another. Still 3DS has such a good lead, this will not change anything.

The rest is subjective, but I'm gonna say this one is debatable

It is most certainly debatable. I object to the suggestion that the Virtual Console counts as only a part of one win for the 3DS. It gives 3DS owners access to dozens of great classic games, and should count as at least 10 wins on its own.
