To be honest I never really understand the allergic whining to new hardware.

New hardware is awesome. It pretty much always means better game experiences. Would you want to play Splatoon on the Wii in SD resolution @ 30 fps and watered down visuals?

I got my NES in 1989, most people got theirs in 1988. We never freaking complained about seeing a Super Nintendo in 1991. Super Nintendo was the most awesome thing ever, my first reaction wasn't "wait a second, they didn't support the NES long enough!". It was "holy shit! SUPER MARIO WORLD!". 

The DS replaced the GBA after 3 1/2 and it was a far better system.

Heck during the SNES days, Nintendo announced the SNES succesor (Project: Reality aka: The Nintendo 64) in 1993 when the SNES was only two years old! We never complained, we were all super excited about it.

Like seriously enough with the whining over this. The 3DS needed to be replaced like *yesterday*, it's a good little machine, but every game looks like someone smeared sh*t over the screen. The sooner Nintendo upgrades to a portable with a nice HD display and better than crappy-first-gen-PS2 visuals the better.
