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

Why? Streetpass probably is subjective if it is cool or not (3D too). Battery life is a clear thing for the DS, and I would like the 3DS had better battery life. Still DLC adds a lot of possibilities and wasn't possible on DS. You might consider DLC a bad thing, but I'm the opinion only bad DLC is a bad thing. And Virtual Console beats every other thing named here.
