Combining gives skewed results. The 3DS isn't anywhere close to being powerful enough to run Xenoblade Chronicles, so it's received more than a slight bump in in power. Nintendo has already stated they have more exclusives in development than Xenoblade, and whether these games are true exclusives or not, they're still games the 3DS won't have and won't be capable of.
The New 3DS is also mechanically different as well. ZL and ZR plus the c stick. The analog add on is available for the regular 3DS, but there's no add on for the ZL and ZR.
