The fact still stands if they actually cared about the people buying their products, they would of put it all into one console rather than releasing 'Improvement' there for DSi and then another random improvement thrown out a few months ago for a whole new console and then releasing this 3D Bull a matter of months later, ridiculous.

Have they never heard of just sending updates out?

Where's your complaining about Microsoft doing the same thing? They did that Elite and then they released a new version last year. If they were to announce Xbox 720 this year would you be saying the same thing? No. All consoles releases updated hardware. Sony has done it more with their PSP then Nintendo have and all the consoles had had at least one new model brought out this gen. In fact I think the Wii is the only console to go without any upgrades ironically enough.

3DS is a Next Gen console and it's hardly money grabbing is the DS has had a very long shelf life for a handheld, you can't really compare the DS to the DSi with the 3DS as it's like comparing the Playstation with the Playstation 2. Different generations. The 3DS has better online functionality this time around so I'll be surprised if they don't issue online updates on the console. It's not gonna stop any hardware updates though as all major game companies do them.
