Why Nintendo Only Released the New 3DS XL in America
Nintendo's Damon Baker talking to NintendoLife:
Did you expect the blowback from not releasing the New 3DS with face plates in North America?
Yeah (laughs). Look, the face plates are super cool, but we're a different market. [...] The different price points give it a clear message for consumers. The core audience.
