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

Maybe, but 3DS releases are slowing down, not speeding up as they did with the DS (remembering everyone assumed the PSP was going to wipe the floor with it back in 2004 inc a lot of developers). 

There's barely been anything in 2014 I've wanted on 3DS, that last must buy release for me was Luigi's Mansion 2. 2012/early 2013 were it's highlights for me.

A lot of people liked Bravely Default, Kirby's Triple Deluxe, Professor Layton Vs. Phoenix Wright, and Tomodachi Life, and Mario Golf 3ds. Maybe these games just aren't your cup of tea.

Plus it has Smash coming out, as well as Pokémon AlphaSapphire. and PersonaQ still pending.

Not a right lot for 2 years is it on a system with such a huge userbase. That said, Prof Layton and Phoenix Wright I played to death on the DS. Hotshots Golf is a better portable golf game. I've not been interested in Pokemon since the GBA ones.

Kirby I'll grab when I see it cheaper as I generally like them. Smash Bros doesn't interest me in the slightest as I don't play fighting games.

So yeah, not my cup of tea. The diversity of the lineup is woeful compared with the original DS. Hopefully the N3DS will give it a new lease of life. Dual analogue built is certainly a step in the right direction.
