    New colours already? The 3DS must really be struggling, usually new colours only come out to boost sales and revitalise interest. Especially a colour people want, like red.

      They showed off like 5-6 colours at 3DS launch. Including Orange, red, purple and I believe green.

      3.6 millions units in the first month isnt bad.. they Forecast 4 million.. Hardly a flop.

    Red is nice and all, but I still need a game to play on it.

    Green.. Where the heck is my green? I was secretly hoping they would launch a Special Edition 3DS in green packed with Ocarina.

    One can hope no?

    Funnily, the bright fire red 3DS that Nintendo used as a preliminary console last E3 looked even better.
