The name is terrible, and good to see a real world example of it!

The 3DS is the sequel to the DS

Think of it as the GameBoy Advance to the original GameBoy.

Yeah, 3DS is an entirely new console. Much more powerful than the DS as well - think something along the lines of a gamecube in terms of graphical power.

This thing is ugly as heck - but its intended audience is young kids who may otherwise break a hinge, and who aren't supposed to be using the 3D feature anyway. It looks like a toy because it is - it also looks really durable.

Honestly it reminds me of the old tiger handhelds a bit.
