what would you think about a mid gen hardware upgrade on a home console?

Why does Nintendo get a free pass with mid-gen hardware upgrades on handhelds that makes early gen units essentially obsolete for most future game releases

Because they have never done this.

New 3DS has already launched, which future game releases make the current model obsolete?

Xenoblade...a game I really, really want to play but currently have no means.

Not only do I think it's unfair to current 3DS owners, I think it's a pretty stupid move that will just confuse consumers even further.
