You can check that in the Activity Log.
500 hours is about how much time I've spent with it every year since launch. First was mainly DS games of course but the hardware has had much better longevity than the DSi in my experience so that's a plus.

If those ROMs were 'enough' for people then, good for them. It's not really an ongoing point in favour of the 3DS though, is it?

More free games than any other console has given me and I've quite enjoyed some of them.
