I have a feeling you guys are gonna have to bite the bullet on this one. There is no advantage for Nintendo to release the smaller unit down the road. As far as I see it, if its not getting released Feb 13th its never getting released here in the states.
This is Nintendos last push for the 3ds...I gauarentee you that by e3 2016 you will see the next handheld itteration which I bet my bottom dollar will be called the "HDS" High Def Dual Screen. Unfortunatly many see the 3d as a gimmick and sadly Nintendo will do away with it.
Now people keep talking about the XL not being portable... do adults really shove their 3ds's in their pockets or is that just a kid thing? I for one could not imagine having my 3ds's out of my cases... My original 3ds has been in a case since day 1 and it still somehow has a few light scratches on the system and it drives me absolutely nuts...My dsi XL and 3ds XL share a nintendo universal case which also holds 8 games and I still consider that very portable. Sure its a bit bulky but at least my systems and games are protected from pocket abuse.
