Eh, he's probably sitting on announcing the colors for the Black Friday bundlees.
The year before it was Green and Orange DSis.
Last year it was Mario red and Zelda black and gold 3DSes.
I want a midnight purple XL. Til then I stick with my small cobalt blue.

Um...wasn't the DS Lite originally offered in only white?
And didn't it sell the fucking pants off that handheld?

@Atomic: don't forget the formula; if anything good happens to/for something that's white it has nothing to do with it being white. If something bad happens it is specifically because it's white.
Naturally white will sell but if blue, red, and pink are also sold it wont as people prefer those colors in general, sure I may like white, or even better transparent with a red, blue or green tint but yea they just say people generally buy the other colors more.
I always see black electronics not working, using up all my tax dollars in electricity while they just sit there creating add-ons that use up more of my electricity. I also see that the black electronics steal programs a lot more often.
Damnit. My DS is white, and I was holding out for a white 3DS XL before making that plunge. It just looks sleeker to me somehow, and less cheap or toy-like.
I imagine an all-black one would accomplish the same, but I sure as hell don't want the blue-on-black or red-on-black on offer now.

This must be why they only offered like 6 black wii u's and the rest white. Why the hell would I want a white console/handheld when EVERYTHING else I own is black? Damn you nintendo. Give the customer options.
@Rekreatur: Yeah, no HANDHELD device would sell if it was white, it would doom the thing to oblivion...
What the hell is Reggie talking about? I used to see way more white GBAs out in public than indigo or translucent purple.
And the GBA SP launched in silver only, so people didn't have a choice! Did he come to the conclusion that silver doesn't sell because later GBA SP models outsold the first gen?
I'm just sick of black electronics period. It's like my entertainment center just sits there, crying and cutting itself.

True but all joking aside, anytime you walk into someones living room, you see a nice and subtle entertainment center, then BAM you get hit in the face with a wii sitting there looking stupid. I prefer uniformity, so white electronics are not my thing.

" considering how unappealing the standard aqua blue and fire red models look"
speak for yourself, the fire red model looks great.

Fuck white, gives us that sweet, harckers-esque, transparent case 3DS XL. Or a nice Animal crossing themed one would be good too.
I think generally people only get white (ala the Wii) when they have no other choice available. Originally the Wii had only white. Then it had some color. But most had no choice.
DS's in general look ugly in white compared to in other colors, anyways.

Does he account for the people that don't buy consoles due to colour choice? I'd love some of the colors that Japanese consumers get, I bet that if any console manufacturer released a console with a variety of colors you;d have more people interested...
I really wanted one of these, but I couldn't justify the high import cost so I went with a cobalt US one.
This and the whole Operation Rainfall thing just makes me wonder if Nintendo's vision of America is based in reality or pure fantasy.

White sucks, it gets nasty over time and is never quite as white as it was when you first took it out of the box. Black however, while usually a finger print magnet, will look pristine once you clean it up. White for handhelds or phones is a terrible idea.
The only thing holding me back from upgrading to an XL is the color schemes. I'm not willing to go from sexy aqua blue to ugly dull blue. If they make a white or black one, I'd buy one right away.
his market research is definitely flawed then.
waiting until they have good colors for the 3DS XL before i bite. and yes i would even take black or white, as opposed to the hideous shades of blue & red they picked.
