Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata has said a third Nintendo 3DS revision could confuse consumers, and suggested that further design revisions - such as the much-requested dual Circle Pad version - won't be released any time soon.

As a result there are no plans to revise the hardware "in the near future," he said."A user will get lost with too many choices," he told attendees (via Genji2Game translation (http://blog.livedoor.jp/genji2game/archives/50714450.html)).
Yesterday Nintendo confirmed it will be releasing a redesigned Circle Pad Pro (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/355662/circle-pad-pro-confirmed-for-nintendo-3ds-xl/) to support the larger form factor of the Nintendo 3DS XL.
