Bottom screen on the n3DS is also finally bigger than the screen size on the DSi. Didn't like that the bottom screen shrunk going from DSi to 3DS, so it's nice to see it going back higher again on the regular 3DS model.
You, sir, have it correct.
For me, the DSi was the perfect mix of screen size and form factor.
Even though the top screen was bigger on the OG 3DS, I really hated the shrinking of the bottom screen. So I bought an XL but, honestly, it's too big for my liking.
N3DS is shaping up to be the DSi of the 3DS line which is amazing.
I'm so hyped.
