Nintendo of America is acting so stupid, it pisses me off
They say they don't bring us limited editions because we don't buy them, and then they release 3 (4 if you count that the Smash Bros one has 2 possible colors) OLD models, when they've already told us that NEW models are coming. OF COURSE they're going to sell badly compared to when they got released elsewhere...
The new 3DS are going to perform better, which means that some games (already mentioned is the Xenoblade remake) are not going to be playable on older models. Not many people will want to pay the same price for an outdated system that can't play every game.
Sometimes I think NoA is trolling us.
