so ya dis is tru

Any 3ds game work on n3ds so it`s the same handheld and should be conbined

People are making the comment that it plays all 3DS games and that the Game Boy Color and DSi had exclusives but it was added to the Game Boy.

How about the Game Boy Advance?  All GB and GBC games played on the Game Boy Advance and sales weren't combined.  It also uses the same name.  It's a Game Boy [Advance] like the GBC was the Game Boy [Color].

The Game Boy Advanced added L and R.  The New 3DS ZL and ZR.  Controls not available on the 3DS and there are no attachments.  The CPU is three times faster and it has double the amount of RAM.  The system isn't as powerful as the Vita, but it's a different beast when compared to the 3DS.

CPU and RAM are some of the biggest limitations to every Nintendo console.  The 3DS could handle the graphics of Xenoblade, but the game would probably be unplayable due to framerate.  It's the reason why a lot of DS games and 3DS games have the camera shoved so far up the player characters ass it's not even funny.  Have too much information on screen at once and it won't be able to keep up with what's going on.

I agree with KylieDog.  The GBC shouldn't have been counted with the GB because it was a different system.  The DSi was advertised as an upgrade to add eshop games and internet compatibility, or extra power to use additional features.  It was never advertised as a brand new system though.  The GBC was advertised as a brand new system and even had exclusive retail games like Dragon Warrior 3 as well as many others. There were a lot of games that stated "Only on Game Boy Color."  Even more if you lived in Japan.

Nintendo is advertising these as new consoles and that's what they should be represented as.  They're getting exclusive games that won't be playable on the previous iteration.  Not shitty eshop indie titles and not a little bit of extra content.  Full retail exclusives.

People claiming the New 3DS is a new console... the freaking system releases in two days and only has one "exclusive." If we were to count this as a totally separate system and part of a new generation, it would be an extremely short generation with literally only a handful of exclusives for the entirety of its life. The New 3DS sales are LITERALLY hanging onto the fact that the 3DS games are still coming out. Why? Because it's a 3DS remodel, not a new system. If it were a new system, it would have more exclusives and it would have been announced in a more grandiose manner.

In the end, the New 3DS owners are mostly going to be playing regular 3DS games. People saying that the GBA jump is pretty similar, it isn't. The GBA had its own games that you can attribute to it. The only game we know about for the New 3DS is a port, and the system is literally just about to release in Japan. Oh, and another thing you guys are missing is the fact that the New 3DS is still running on the 3DS OS... how is it NOT a 3DS?

So what do you think this is?

"The CPU is three times faster and it has double the amount of RAM."

The Dsi has 133Mhz  ARM9 clocked at 133mhz. It is twice as fast as prevous models. It also has four times more RAM (16MB), it also added 256MB internal flash storage and sd card slot. not mentioning two cameras.

PSP GO added 8GB of internal storage, and PSP-3k has two times more RAM (64MB)

When the N64 launched there were only two exclusives. 

Nintendo usually drops support at the drop of a hat as soon as they launch a new console, but with the New 3DS being backwards compatible, why drop support?  Sucker people into buying the old console, then when they realize that the game they want doesn't work and they'll need the new one, they'll have to buy that one too.

There was barely any GBA support after the release of the DS.  That didn't stop Nintendo from continuing to sell the GBA.  That didn't stop them from releasing the GBA Micro either.  Maybe some suckers will buy a new version of a console that's no longer being supported.  Or not.  The Micro bombed.

No. It will have exclusive games and improved hardware.

VitaTV and vita have the exact same HW, "no" HW improvement, no games exclusive to the Vita TV... A Ps4 model with a small screen on it would be simply a Ps4 variant

but games are exclusive to the vita... So yeahhhh... :P

Why not. They did it for DS and DSi sales. /thread, really.
