Nintendo losing faith in 3D gimmick. Iwata says it will only be a minor feature for future devices
Since its inception, Nintendo has really been pushing the 3DS’ 3D capabilities hard but it appears the Big N has lost its faith in the concept of 3D gaming, at least for now.
During a recent chat with Independent, company president Satoru Iwata said the surprising effect that the 3D elements had at first, appear to be wearing off and because of that, 3D (while still being used) will be downplayed in terms of importance, when it comes to future Nintendo consoles and handhelds.

"But I think it's an important element, it makes graphics more impactful, it proves a sense of immersion that 2D doesn't have, so I would say generally that 3D is better than 2D. It's nice to have good graphics but not necessarily on their own, so I don't think we'll present [3D graphics] as one of the key features of our consoles but will probably stick with 3D as one of the minor elements of our consoles in the future. "

Speaking of the 3DS, it’s safe to say that it has been a financial struggle for Nintendo since its launch last March and because of that, Nintendo has taken a large hit to the old profit margin. This explains the 3DS XL. Iwata said that while the company isn’t expecting an incredibly large return on the 3DS, the price of the new model is set high enough to make Nintendo some money.
I know I called it a gimmick but the 3DS' 3D can actually produce some beautiful (stunning really) results when developers use it to its full potential and I actually find it kind of sad to see Nintendo shift its focus away from it but given the current financial climate, I can see why this decision was made.
Hopefully we will continue to see Nintendo do some great things with the 3D tech at its disposal, even if that tech will be put on the back burner.

Well reading this gives food for thought... did nintendo release the 3DS XL just because people were waiting to buy their own 3DS just in case this would happen? So if people didn't wait to purchase it, would none of this have happened?

I bought a 3ds day one.Once OoT came out I loved it. The 3D it looks Amazing in that game in my opinion.Then again I never owned a N64 (my bro got a PlayStation instead) so I never experienced the game originally so to me it was a new game.

If they downplay the 3D, where will that attention shift to? If they throw the focus into creating deeper gameplay and then combine that with some cool 3D effects, it'd make a truly amazing game. Also, if a lot of people didn't buy the 3DS, I think even fewer people will buy the 3DS XL. Honestly, I've seen the DSi XL. That monster isn't good for the graphics, your eyes, your arms, or your pockets. There's nothing wrong or missing with just a regular-sized handheld.

But the 3d was a huge selling point for me! It's not necesarry, but it's cool as fuck! And just because they're pushing the importance of 3d down as opposed to games doesn't necesarrilly mean they've lost faith in it.
