Nintendo Direct / 3DS XL

[DioShiba]

If the lack of AC adapter is that much trouble, why not get a regular 3DS? There are plenty of colors to choose from now (as opposed to launch).
Me, I have a 3DS. My brother might get a 3DS XL, so we can share our AC adapter.
I'm content with my 3DS and do not see the need for a bigger screen.

Because nintendo is assuming that everyone who already owns a 3DS will trade their own in for the 3DSXL.

Of course, bearing in mind that means selling the AC adapter as well.

It's a dumb move on nintendo of japan's and nintendo of europe's part. I wouldn't be surprised if the sales fare worse than the regular 3DS' launch because of this.

EDIT: oh looks like that we already went over that.

Chalk it up to being slow this morning.
