Your 3DS is one giant social game and you didn't even notice
My gal Jessica and I were on our way to Osaka to get a delicious American-style burrito at the only burrito joint I've ever been willing to make the thirty minute train ride for, and through a circuitous twist of fate we found ourselves surrounded on either side of the bench by a couple friends that we met along the way. The recent release of the 3DS XL made some new owners out of us—I passed down my original 3DS to Jessy and replaced it with a blue XL, while my friend bought his first 3DS due to the increased battery and bigger screens of the XL (the other friend already had a red original 3DS, purchased specifically for Mario Kart 7, still the only game she owns).
