I want the Smash Bros. 3DS XL and love all of the designs, but I am not going to buy it when I know the New 3DS XL is just around the corner. I currently just have the original 3DS model so that will make a nice difference once I switch over, at least. :D

Ds Games!

People buy them for collections and what not. 3ds won't be obsolete for as long as games continue to be made for it and people enjoy playing it.

Slap a cool skin, on an obsolete product, and they can make $$$.

Because Nintendo fans are easily parted with their cash.

More fans own multiple Nintendo themed consoles than any other manufacturer out there. They really love their stuff.

Nintendo knows what works when it comes to getting people to buy multiple consoles, so they're sticking with that business model. Their handhelds have always followed this model - at least three re-designs during the lifespan of the system, plus special editions to reel in the genre fans.

Now, if only they would give the Wii U the same level of attention and promotion...

To temp collectors into buying all of them. Sorry Nintendo, but I am passing on all of these until the NEW 3DS is out.

Maybe this is just me but do you think they are going to continue to sell the original 3DS along side the NEW 3DS. I feel like people keep on comparing this to the DS to the DSi. I remember those 2 being sold along side one another for a long time. If their plan is to continue selling both version for the time being this doesn't necessarily go against the grain.

Also lets face it the NEW 3DS isn't coming out this holiday season in the west, got to sell those 3DS.

I really like some of these designs, irrespective of the fact that Nintendo is milking their fans of their $$$.

Nintendo are a company that are full of scumbags but try to look like nice guys.
EA are a bunch of scumbags that act like scumbags.

Funny that given one is far more insidious than the other, it is actually the honest one that gets all the grief. :-/

Stuff like this makes me really glad that I wait a few years before buying a new console or handheld. I will just wait a little longer to get the 'NEW' 3DS.

Nintendo and Sony both had varying models of the DS and PSP but nothing as bad as what it seems Nintendo is doing now with the 'Specialty' 3DS's.

Well, this situation is different because they are clearly releasing inferior versions after they announced the NEW 3DS. Nintendo could release 100 limited edition skins, for all I care. Anyway, it's not my problem. If someone is that desperate for another Nintendo Collector's item, then let them be parted with their money.

We will end up getting a whole new round of skins, once the NEW 3DS comes out. Expect Zelda (MM Purple Edition), Mario, Pokemon, tons of Japanese Exclusives, and heck maybe even a Xenoblade one.

I want the New 3DS. This is what will get me to buy another Nintendo handheld. They have a lot internals to sell though for the 2DS and 3DS's so they are probably clearing stock. Having a cheaper SKU, assuming it will be cheaper, when the New 3DS comes out may drive more sales (albeit add to confusion.)

Nintendo does what they want, be damned of logic. Sometimes it pays off.
