3DS was declining YOY pretty fast. Nintendo needed a new revision to spur sales. It makes a lot of business sense.

Exactly my thoughts. The Game Boy Color had few of its own exclusives. To be honest it was basically the same thing. The DSi had few exclusive games too.

I want to know how much it will cost when it finally comes west...

I'm not angry at it though I kinda hope its exclusive games are mostly Wii ports or something like that.

I'm getting the New 3DS for its battery life and its size.

Everything else is icing on the cake.

If there is a Zelda 3DS special edition then count me in!

And yet vita has had most of these features for over 2 years now {not counting 3d, fanboys} and they did it without alienating playstation fans. Im so glad I waited to get a 3ds (persona q) cause Id be fucking pissed about the exclusives.

Me, too! As long as the exclusives are mostly ports of older games then I really don't care!

I wonder what the little thing next to the cam is. Is this a "face tracker"? and thats why the 3d is working from all angles?

When the WiiU was announced I decided to skip the 3DS this generation all together, and might get the next handheld if its linked to our NNID. I can wait for the few titles I would like to play.
