Seems some french sites got a hands on with the 3DS XL, and this is what they thought:

From a hands-on posted to the site Puissance Nintendo come the following impressions, along with the above video and image below (Google Translated via GAF):
  • Huge screen
  • Better viewing angle
  • 3D effect looks better/more effective/more natural
  • 2D mode looks better than regular 3DS
  • Image looks better/softer (they assume there might be some filter but not sure)
  • The grip (round corners) fit nicely
  • Unit fits better in hands (they wonder if it should've been the main design in first place)
  • Unit is lighter than they expected
  • There's a coat in the unit (not fully matte) that gives it a "deluxe plastic imitating metal" look
  • Not sure at the sound as the room was quite noisy

More here including video.

So they say it looks better, think it's true?
 
It looks good but think I'll wait. Nintendo seems to "test" their products a lot. Then later release another version. I see in the near future a newer 3DS XL with a second stick on the right.

I don't think they will do that, if they were they would have done it with the XL coming out. Not to do it is screwing game makers by not programming the games right for a second controller.
 
They don't need to use the second analog, but they already made the circle pad pro, so why not? Which may I add, does not work on the 3DS XL.
