What was the point of the "New" 3DS?

To have a reason to increase the price for hardware that was outdated on its release. Honestly, I have no idea how they can get away with charging this much for their crappy hardware. The reason why I haven't got a 3DS is because it's too expensive for me! Vita is so much cheaper and from the technological point of view, the quality of execution it's miles away.

With such ridiculous pricing, I won't get a 3DS unless it's finally hacked like the DS. I don't accept such rip-off policy.

They're all rip-offs, even the Vita.

Still, if you consider the price of both the console and games later on, Vita ends up being much, much cheaper! And it's despite having a much higher level of built quality, next gen specs (in comparison) and games costing more to develop. I am willing to pay for quality, but I won't pay extra for lower quality. I know there are some great games there, but I can't justify the price of the 3DS experience. As I've said - I'll get one when they crack it like they did with the DS. I still ended up buying a few DS games I enjoyed the most and will do that with 3DS as well, but no way I'm getting into this system without that.
