Having actually purchased one of the New 3DS XL units, I can honestly say that Nintendo did a few things right. Firstly, it is a faster machine and secondly, The "nub" (or whatever you want to call it) really works, although for some people it's sticky or glitches. The only thing I'm not really a big fan of is the fact that almost everything (game card slot, pen bay, power button) is on the bottom. I'm going to assume that this is an attempted design improvement by Nintendo to stop people from breaking the hinges on the upper screen whenever they want to switch a game. The power button being in the bottom right corner of the unit is a huge inconvenience, especially if you accidentally press it during a game.
