NA gets all the WiiU love at the moment. And apart from a few obscure games like Terranigma, Australia does get everything last and at a higher asking price. I feel this pain every day in Australia. The new 3DS fans here at least have something to be happy about, if they can afford the over $200 for it. We are certainly paying a high price for the privilege of an earlier new 3DS.

Also apart from Smash Bros, there's no games that take advantage of the new 3DS now. So not having one right away is not a big deal. Games coming out late here (like most of them are late here) hurts a lot more.

I bet the EU and NA are clogged with older 3DS', maybe Australia isn't.

You are possibly right. But that does not explain the soon to be released 3DS that are being released. I don't know why Nintendo is making more old 3DS to sell when the new 3DS is coming out soon.

Instead of the Smash edition 3DS XL they shoulda just given the New 3DS sooner. :/ IMO, but maybe they needed more time. Still it would've been really nice to have it. I hope we can get it before summer of next year, would suck to have to wait so long on it.

I don't think they are, I bet they have a lot of unsold stock and parts, some re-purposed for special editions like the Smash XL that is the New model in Japan, but the old one everywhere else.

Probably because it's no where near being released yet. I'm sure priority for the Holiday season is to maximize CURRENT hardware, being 3DS' and Wii U's. Advertising the New 3DS would cut sales of a prime holiday shopping season for current 3DS models.

3DS sales are massively down from 2011-2012 and have never reached DS heights. They must have a glut of unsold inventory, that's all.

Actually I would feel bad for anyone who buys an old 3DS now. With the new one coming soon to most countries and (out now in Australia/Japland.)
