Not buying a great system with dozens of must own games just because of the Virtual Console? Bizarre.
Great for you, but I have a history with handhelds; I buy them late after all the good games are released, end up with a small handful of games I actually cared to buy and rarely finish them. I just prefer consoles.
I have by far the most handhelds game with my DS but the fact of the matter remains, I lose interest in playing handhelds because console offerings are usually better, and even when they're not its much more comfortable for me to relax in bed or a chair and play games on my tv. Hunching over a small screen just isn't appealing in comparison, no matter how many how many great games there are for GB/GBA/DS/3DS.
Besides, adding cross compatible VC functionality just gives me another reason to buy a 3DS, and very well could be the one bullet point that would make me run out and by one TODAY. Right now the potential of there being a Link Between Worlds bundle is the only thing that has me thinking of buying a 3DS soon, otherwise I can wait a little longer or pick one up cheap once the next 3DS successor comes out.
