Why the US only got the New 3DS XL...

Here's what I think no offense to the other Americans out there but as an American myself and somewhat of a historian the common trend in the United States is, as Winter stated, bigger is better. Many Americans also like to spend money so when something new comes out they just have to have it. Now that's not to say all Americans are like that. I'm certainly not and there are a few people I know who aren't either. However, the sheer amount of people I know, ESPECIALLY gamers, always obsess about the new systems coming out more than the games themselves which irks me to no end. Personally I'm somewhat glad for my small stature because my hands are so small, I can't even hold the XL systems well enough to push the buttons. But that's beside the point, I think Nintendo realizes that many gamers really like consoles more than games to a certain extent in America, so they figured they'd make some money off of us and sell it solely here.
