So what?It was neeeding a revision from february!Dsi and dsi xl had two years and one year respectively,while were more succesful,then the successor to ds,the 3ds came!Even dslite had two years and then got a major revision!3DS will have reach 4 years and 3ds xl almost three years before it gets the major revision(New3ds/xl)!*In the west

How quickly everyone forgets the 2DS.  Revisions are just a bandaid, not a solution.

Well to be fair, I think New 3DS will be more successful that 2DS. People seem to respond better to revisions that actually have improvements rather than ones that take away features. Things like GBA SP or DSi come to mind, those added value to the device by improving upon the design/features.

With that said, I don't believe New 3DS will see the type of success of GBA SP or DSi but they should help keep YOY sales from plummeting in 2015 if they release in US/EU in Q1.
