According to Wired here, linking to this NeoGAF post here, the XL model of the New 3DS outsold the regular one 2 to 1. Which is why it's irrational for me to feel this way, they've gotta do what's best for business, even if it's not something I want.
I'm just super sad I won't get to experience the New 3DS, because I've never, and I never intend to, buy an XL model of any of Nintendo's handhelds.

I'm pretty sure that's not it, since it is getting a release in Europe. It's just not happening in North America (any time soon, at least). I was so psyched for this too, and every time they said specifically "New Nintendo 3DS XL" was devastating =(
