* Pokemon go mania led 3DS to sell a lot more than what Nintendo was planning to ship/produce, then Pokemon S/M were released in November, and 3DS sell all of its stock in the USA at least. Edit: Nintendo didn't expect such a boost from Pokemon go and when they saw it, they underestimated its duration.

( 2DS sold out earlier than new 3ds xl )

Nintendo still hasn't restocked it as of now, only shipping a specific amount in stores

P.S

Nintendo had released pikachu new 3ds xl on the 24th of february causing a huge boost in hardware sales according to npd ( mainly due to january sales being low ) , that thing as expected sold out very fast, currently not a single store has one.  As for the other new 3ds xl variants, check in stores or third party sellers ( which of course sellt them at a higher price by 50$ ). This was a first endeavor of replenishing the shelves, a failed one given that the new edition stock depleted quickly.
