I bought a New3DSXL this month after thinking about it for a while. One year ago I was on the brink of buying a Vita (because of price and some nice games) but the diminishing support for it made me hesitate.
The new console replaces (still got the old one left) an old 3DSXL because I want to play some games that are more action oriented in "super stable" 3D (like Kid Icarus, MK7 and Zelda OoT/MM).
It is faster, it has the "super stable" feature and got a web browser that is acceptable.
EDIT: I try to bring the 3DS with me when I travel. The last 6 - 9 months there has been VERY few Streetpass hits.
