Yeah But DS lite came in 3rd year. Nintendo needs another revision.

I think we will get one, maybe not this year but in 2014, 3DS Pro or something like that, all the aesthetic changes of the XL, better battery life, maybe better 3D effect and a 2nd analog nub. Personally i think DSi should have never released and instead save those new features for 3DS, it would have made it seem like a bigger upgrade


Enough with the 2nd nub.. it doesnt need it when only a few games make use of it..  seriously its not gonna happen.


i personally dont care about having a 2nd nub, i was just naming some things they could do with a redesign

I still think the 3ds will outsell the DS in its lifetime.


It won't


It's on track too, and this is without a pokemon game or a "3ds lite"

I dont see a huge jump in sales like DS got, i could easily see 3DS selling 15-20 million for the next few years and passing 100 million but it wont reach the 25-30 million DS was doing 2007-9. What do u think 3DS Lite will do that increases sales so much?

Another revision would make the market too saturated. They need to wait for that.

pokemon pearl and diamond had already come out, when pokemon x and y come out the 3ds sales will BOOM.  Also, the next iteration will likely have a second circle pad, zl/zr buttons, and have a longer battery life.  both of those combined could make the sales go beyoned the 30 million mark for 1-3 years.

Then you need to get the original 3DS. The original 3DS is the "Lite."

I already do. I just wait better battery life and screens without sacrificing the sound quality.

30+ million is stretching it, 25m is possible for maybe 1-2 years. I just dont see a new redesign having the same impact as DS Lite or DSi. Not many games need a 2nd circle pad or 2nd row of shoulder buttons and Pokemon will be huge but i dont think that alone will cause sales to increase over 100% YOY.
