Can't wait for mine now, the D&#45;Pad felt great, buttons were nice and clicky, and it really wasn't all that much bigger in width than the regular 3DS sitting right next to it either. :D http://www.cubed3.com/topic/62451Didn&#39;t Iwata just admit it&#39;s not meeting expectations in the US and Europe? You only have to look at the UK chart, for example, to see 3DS sales are poor. The DS only picked up there thanks to nintendogs and then the DS Lite. Maybe this time it&#39;ll be NSMB2 and the 3DS XL. http://www.cubed3.com/topic/62451Actualy the 3DS didn&#39;t meet Nintendo&#39;s sales expectations in the first three months at last. It has been better once Nintendo dropped the price. Why else would they drop the price? Poor sales initially. It did struggle initially and the week by week sales figures do prove this, no? http://www.cubed3.com/topic/62451I wish they would just release a more comfortable (normal) size of 3DS. This looks too big I just want some nice hand grips. MK7 canes my palms after just 10 minutes of playing. OWCH http://www.cubed3.com/topic/62451Well in Japan i&#39;s been the top system, not positive about North America and Europe. Even if it is, it&#39;s not that impressive considering it&#39;s mainly competing with 6 year old consoles. Nintendo has admitted that sales outside of Japan have been slow. Not that they&#39;ve been terribly bad.<br/><br/>Can&#39;t wait for the 3DSXL! http://www.cubed3.com/topic/62451"the system has been struggling in Western territories due to a lack of clarity in what the 3D system was all about at launch, its initial high price&#45;point and lacklustre line&#45;up during the first six or so months.&#39;<br/><br/>That isnt true. Its been the top selling system worldwide for the last full year. No system is doing better<br/> http://www.cubed3.com/topic/62451"The Nintendo 3DS XL has come at the perfect time; the system has been struggling in Western territories due to a lack of clarity in what the 3D system was all about at launch, its initial high price&#45;point and lacklustre line&#45;up during the first six or so months."<br/><br/><br/>The 3ds has been number 1 in the world since last june<br/><br/>The 3ds has outpaced the DS in the western territories up to this point<br/><br/>And its doing pretty damn well considering the economy http://www.cubed3.com/topic/62451Ive tried the system myself and honestly its pretty great. I recommend it to anyone who games at home more than on the go. A unmentioned benefit is on the 3ds there's a way to change the scaling of normal DS games to be played at 1:1 pixel ratio which is smaller than the screen, but the 3DSXL pixels are larger and don't make this feature redicuosly tiny like the regular 3ds does. dont care about no 2nd analog stick, there are like 3 games that use it.
