The corporation switches its focus to the new model.

Nintendo will cease manufacturing and selling 3DS XL systems in Japan, the corporation has announced, as part of its plan to focus the market on its next handheld.

The New Nintendo 3DS XL, which features upgraded technology and a right-hand analogue nub, launched in Japan on October 11 and sold 230,000 units in its first two days.

Writing on its official website Nintendo stated that it will cease production of its older XL model. However, it appears that the original 3DS will not be shelved.

The New Nintendo 3DS XL is currently only available in Japan and Australia, which means the older model won't be discontinued elsewhere, for now. In a statement  the company wrote: "Nintendo 3DS XL is still available in Europe and no announcements have been made. "

Nintendo has yet to reveal an official release date for the New 3DS XL across the UK or Europe, though it is planned for a 2015 launch.
