Why are you buying the big one? Does it enhance your experience?
1. It limits the software that is viable on the device.
2. Worse controls are an issue. I don't care if you can work around them. There is no way RE, MGS, KH, etc. don't play better with two analog sticks.

Nintendo would have been nuts to put the second stick on the 3DS XL. Why confuse consumers and abandon early adopters? Why put developers in a position where they MUST have an alternate control scheme in place because not everyone has two sticks?
RE: Revelations proved that the second stick isn't necessary to have a good time. Better to leave it off the default hardware and make it an option for those that really, really want it. It was the right call in this case.

I think you might be right. I have more games for the DS than any other platform of the last ten years, and some of them are my all-time favorites. Pretty good run for a handheld I wrote off as a desperate gimmick.But the DS I would go so far as to call my favorite system of the aughts.
Here comes the Nintendo "fun" bullshit again, since the objective argument doesn't hold water.

I was really hoping that wasn't the case
I understand it means 0, but that doesn't make it sound less dumb.

Objective argument? We're talking about games, which people play for fun. Maybe later we can have an objective argument about your favorite color.
The 3DS has a one-stick option by default, and a two-stick option for those who really care. The same will be true of the XL. Everyone can play any game however they want. Maybe it would be best to put the indignant nerd rage back in the bottle and save it for a more worthy cause.
