I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this but I was looking through Nintendo's latest shipment data and they didn't ship any of the original 3DS model outside of Japan in the most recent quarter. It makes sense considering the XL/2DS are more popular and New 3DS is releasing soon but I just found it interesting.

I expect to see some crazy sales for this model so retailers can get rid of any existing units they have left in stock. Perhaps $99 on black Friday or Christmas week.

I upgraded from OG 3DS to Gold Zelda XL last year due to a crack on top screen from over the holidays, while riding a bike over holidays, lol.

Not doing that with XL XD.
