If you are asking why people would buy a 3DS over a 3DS XL, then there are many reasons. Don't have the money, better resolution, more portable, and other reasons. If you are asking why people would buy a 3DS at all, then just remember that it has way more games, more accessability, and more people using it than a Wii U. Assuming that you are comparing to a Wii U. Not trying to put words in your mouth.

He's just trolling.

Don't go to gamestop, get it online. It's much cheaper even with shipping.

Hmmmmmm, Better battery life?(XL) Or Better portability? (Orig.)
Orig. Pretty much setting the whole standard of handhelds with the portability, But great battery life is always good. Any opinions?

If you want the best of both worlds, buy clothes with larger pockets! :awesome:

Or just put your 3DS XL into your bag or something....

The 3DS XL will def fit in my pockets (larger body=larger clothing). Considering my family is obsessed with road trips, I will benefit way more from the XL than the original.

I like both 3DS versions, but if they make a Midnight Purple 3DS XL...

the purple 3ds is the best looking one btw
All the 3DS XL colors are perfect to me, but midnight purple would look amazing. I am gonna try to get a blue/black 3DS XL.

XL ftw. Everything looks like it gained 50 pounds since the regular 3DS. And of course because of all the other stuff too. It's definitely better on the eyes, I can say that much.

That's true, like my sister's Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I guess these things are becoming the new pocket monsters (badumtsss).

Hope I can agree with eyes cause when I turned my 3d on my original 3ds it hurt and I always saw two images :/ hope when I get my XL that it's WAY better than my original.

Ew. Pink.:p
I hope they make a completely blue 3DS XL before I get the Blue/black. Doesn't really matter because I am gonna get a Sonic case, or maybe even Pokemon X.
LOL when I get my money from selling my 3DS on eBay I'm getting me a Red/Black 3DS :D

Animal crossing one is sooooo hawt:

I have an original right now I might pick up the XL eventually if it goes down in price more but I'm not shelling out the cash for the XL right now.

I will be using my regular 3DS for Smash. But I was thinking of upgrading to a XL model so I can get a better resolution. Also it's been around two/three years since I owned one. I need to upgrade it. I was thinking of buying the Luigi Edition 3DS XL which is coming to the Europe Nintendo Store.

Running a regular 3DS atm, but upgrades are in the future. Games will feel better with the larger system.

Speculation God, GOML
It has been awhile since I posted here. As an update, I got a 2DS. I have no problems with it and it was cheap. So I will be getting Smash on my 2DS. Haha.

To be honest, I rather roll with the 2DS. I have long fingers so the L n R buttons didn't feel right on the 3DS'.
