It has a 90% bigger screen than the 3DS, and releases in August. I'm dissappointed because they make this PoS instead of a remodel with 2 analogue sticks, actually, if it had 2 analogue sticks than it would seem like a forced buy, instead of another option.
Video from 3DSBlog explaining it to the complainers:
When I first saw the white one on IGN, I thought it looked downright weird, and when I heard that it came with no AC adapter, I went WTF. But both of those issues are resolved, and I own no games on my 3DS that use the circle pad pro, and they most likely release an attachment for the XL, so I will be ok.
I wished they would've made it the same size as the original with 2 analogue sticks -.- I would buy that, but since the screen is bigger, the games will probably be higher res on it, and have clearer 3D, still not for me though.
I like it. I hate how people always thought that Nintendo would put another analog stick. They never said that....

Nintendo.
Making things bigger just to earn more money. They're so ****ing innovative.
They're just giving people options and making revisions to the 3DS. That's what made the DS the second best selling console of all time.
Also, Nintendo is still innovative. The 3DS is the first 3D Handheld console out there, I believe. Stop hating. lol

David Turnbull from 3DSBlog posted a rant video to the people complaining, he has some pretty good points. I'll put it in the OP.
I agree.

Whoa, I did not hear this until now. Anyways, I don't really like this design; I prefer the smaller 3DS, despite that I don't have one myself.
EDIT: Alright; they should have kept the corners square as they were, instead of making them rounder.
Also, from what other people say, the 3DS XL does not introduce a second analog stick, because if it did, then it'd release games exclusive for this version, and that'd require 2 analog sticks, therefore forcing people to buy one to play these games. Unless Nintendo wanted to give the original 3DS a second analog stick to begin with, they never released any consoles that uses two analog sticks, unlike the Xbox and Playstation consoles. Again, I don't like the new design as much, but overall, I think this is just a larger variation of the original 3DS, and I'm still making decisions whether to buy one or not when it comes out.

There's an attachment for the regular 3DS that adds a second circle pad
