I feel OVERWHELMED by my 3DS XL. I bought it for my girlfriend with no intentions of caring about it (have a 360 and a gaming PC), yet I have completed 4 3DS games in around 6 months. I have at least 5 or 6 more 3DS games on my list to play, and the entire DS library to choose from as I never had a DS.
The hardware hasn't disappointed me, either. Though I can admit a higher resolution would be nice. I have not had one big issue with my 3DS yet.
