It had to be redesigned, its one of the ugliest electronic devices of recent years. There was no effort made to make the original look attractive.
People should be pointing and laughing at it rather than buying it.
That at least took 15 months to be released. This is probably coming next month.
Those reliable rumors were from Nikkei News (Japanese Newspaper)
While this time it is Nikkei Trendy

It seems like it is a casual magazine though from the same company.
I can't think of any proven rumor particular from this magazine.
Hilarious. Totally hilarious. Now we just need official confirmation on a Vita price-cut and the sky will have totally fallen in!
It seems they're the same parent company.

Official?
Where are they talking about a Vita price-cut already? lol

What? A product that has not been officially announced or even hinted at is launching next month?
Seriously, it's more likely to be later than that, assuming (fairly, to be honest) that this is legitimate.
And seriously, BurntPork, this is in no way a surprise. You have not been scammed in any way, shape or form.
Lol So how are they going to fit a better battery in the already packed 3DS with it being thinner?
Parent company has no relation to the validity of one of the individual companies' reputation. Many newspapers and magazines are owned by big conglomerates.
The Spartanburg Herald-Journal doesn't have the same credibility or reputation as the NY Times just because they are owned by the same parent company.

It's a HUGE surprise for it to come so soon. June should have been the absolute earliest for it to come. Doing this after its first holiday is a scam, and this is coming from someone who got the DS Phat but didn't even flinch when the DS Lite was announced.

[Nintex];33985500 said:I don't think Nintendo ever intended to lose money on the 3DS for long, especially with the Wii U coming up. So if they can produce this thing cheaper and price it at $189 or so because it's a new machine and at least break even they'd rather do that than keep selling the current models at significant loss.
Nikkei recent rumors have been way off.
What about Fire Emblem DLC and installing games to 3DS internal memory? Still waiting.
Now they are calling a 3DS Lite and Monster Hunter Vita, are we sure this isn't a prediction edition? LOL
We all know how reliable they are. You don't need to remind us how we've been scammed.
They could have waited another six months.
I was (and still am) hoping for the first revision to be a 3DSXL, but it'll be interesting if this is true.

Who's to say they aren't? This is a rumor/leak, not a press release. For all we know it might not come out until after E3 (assuming it's real).

I never said you did, just pointing that out considering people are already considering these rumors as fact based on your previous post.I didn't imply they did.

$250 3DS Lite
$170 3DS Phat

Sweet, now I can start saving for a 3DS.
Also, with regards to a thinner model, surely an added analogue slider would provide a bit of extra width to allow the thickness to be reduced slightly?
