When Nintendo makes it possible to play in 1080 P they will do fine. Mario and his friends, Pikmin, Pokémon B&W 3, Animal Crossing and games like Monster Hunter in full HD will make the people will buy the Wii U. And cheap games like in the eStore on the 3DS will help also.
Still not sure that MS en Sony will bring consoles that will blow the Wii U away. Nintendo earns money from day one and its not sure that MS and Sony want to wait 3-4 years again before they are at a break even point.
And another game for the USA downloadshop what isn't coming to Europe.... When will Nintendo find out that there are more customers outside Japan and the USA?
Got a XL and I am very happy with it! Playing games like Maro Land 3D and MK7 are even more fun now. Pokémon B&W looks better on this screen then on the normal 3DS. And the sound of the XL is also better. I have the silver one, form the 20 pre orders in my game shop were almost all the silver ones. Batterylife is not better for me because on my 3DS I had a non-original battery what gave me 16 hours playtime in 2D. So I wait for another battery now. For people who are not sure what to do at the moment I only can say that ones played on the XL, you never want to go back to the original 3DS.
Here in NL we can trade in not only the 3DS but also a DS what makes that I only have to pay 43 euro for my XL The data transfer can be done at home and after that you bring your 3DS to the shop for the refund.
@Fabian Europe is not that important for Nintendo it seems compared to Japan en US. Laak at the difference between the Eshops and an adapter or not with the 3DS XL.
@Wheels2050 Many people have a charger but many people dont have that because they never bought a DSi. I have a DSLite and because Nintendo had used for some strange reasons different sizes of connectors from the charger the people with a DSLite had to buy a new charger. When you wanna sell your 3DS you have to buy a new charger. When Nintendo allready starts with saving this little money its not strange for me that they will do something strange with the release from the Wii U also to get a nice price. Maybe we have to use the Wii adapter so Nintendo can save money.
When I buy a cellphone, the charger is included. When I buy a car, the battery can be charged while driving. No need to buy it seperate from the car. When I buy a 3DS XL I can uce the AC adapter from my 3DS but can't sell my 3DS without an adapter because the adapter of my DS Lite doesn't fit. At least Nintendo should have used a mini-USB connection like all the new cellphones have now. They only sell the XL without adapter for financial reasons, not to pleasure the customers. What is the difference for me to buy a XL for €199 when I have to buy an adapter for €10, it's still over €200 what I have to spend? When Nintendo decides to use the mini-USB standard its fine for me, almost everyone has those adapters at home nowadays. And whats next? Leave the adapter and tablet out the box for getting the Wii U under €200 sale?
@LztheBlehBird Um, read the description of the XL again. Europe and Japan are not getting the adapter with the system. The world is bigger than just the US.
Maybe Nintendo should bring more games to us then Just Mario and friends. Where is Monster Hunter? Why no Pokémon? Animal Crossing not before first half 2013. Give America and Europe more games and that will help. And don't expect that new gamers will buy a handheld without adapter.

Re: GAME Goes Large With 3DS XL Trade-In Deal
@brachyura
According to the manual and the 3DS itself you need an internetconnection for data transfer. Just transfer the SD wont work.

Re: Nintendo Drops Price of 3DS AC Adapter in Japan
@Tsuchinoko
For me there is no difference. You buy something with a battery(pack) in it what has to be charged.

Re: Monster Hunter 4 Attacks Japan in Spring 2013
Does Nintendo know that they sell the 3DS outside Japan also?
To much games stay in Japan. Come on Nintendo, we want those games also!
