They are upgrading the NDS because consumers want it to keep upgrading. If you buy the N3DS which is coming out in 2011, then you won't complain. Just wait a couple months until the DS cools down then get the cheaper and newest version. Many people complained that they didn't get the NDS slim version when it came out a couple months after the original DS came out. And to your second statement. NO, there 3D games for the N3DS won't be released for any of the older DS, because it is 3D, it requires the latest software updates, and it also has enhanced hardware so that it can even render it in 3D vision.
Nintendo Ds is supposed to be a device that is supposed to attract children with impulsive and redundant upgrades. Its based souly for small children who have overarching control over their parents and nintendo knows that the more **** they make thats pointless and has paltry reputation as a sufficent gaming device the more high matinence brat children will beg and scream at their parents for it. Put simply the reason its such a bum is its supposed to appeal to the impulsive child market and not to a senior game buyer that knows what the **** hes doing
Videos issues are often related to Adobe Flash Player (you can download it here http://bit.ly/1sxRxEd) You have to download and install/update Adobe flash player to be able to watch videos on the internet (Youtube, Facebook, etc..) With Flash Player as well as watching videos you can also play flash games online. Sometimes this software is not installed or is damaged/corrupted and it's responsible for many problem with videos. Hope that helps.
Uhhh... no... 3DS is not even an upgrade of the DS systems. It's a completely new system.
In fact, PSP had the same upgrade as the DS -- PSP1000, PSP2000, PSP3000, PSP Go. The same goes with Apple's iPod Touch, many upgrades...
The cartridges are the same size but have a "small tab" stopping the games from entering on DS systems.
"In addition to its own software, the Nintendo 3DS will be backward compatible with Nintendo DS software, including DSi software. At launch, the Nintendo 3DS cards will hold up to 8GB of game data and look almost exactly the same as those of the current DS. However, there is a small tab jutting out on the one side, most likely to prevent 3DS cards from being inserted in a Nintendo DS." --Wikipedia
If you don't know much about 3DS, then here are some facts I gathered about it:
Although it's not out yet, the 3DS is the first glasses-free 3D gaming device in the market(like the ones in theaters minus the glasses). It also supports multimedia, motion control, touch-screen, 3 cameras, and Wi-Fi. It is also compatible with the DS software and DSi wares.
Some 3DS features (there's more that weren't announced by Nintendo) you may not know:
The 3DS graphics is the closest handheld gaming device that comes close to 360/PS3 graphical wise(you gotta see it to believe it; specs don't count), it supports 2 screens, 1st screen as a 3D screen without glasses(it's real and it works, you can also turn off the 3D if you want 2D), 2nd screen as a touch-screen, compatible with the old generations of DS softwares, gyroscope, accelerometer, audio player, 3 cameras(one inside, and two outside), capable of taking 2D/3D photos and capturing 2D/3D videos, 2D/3D movie playback, multitasking(i.e. You can access web browser while playing a game), Virtual Console Service(which was not available with the DSi/DSi XL) and some 3D remakes of classic retro games(GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SNES, and more), also compatible with DSi Wares, 3DS Mii Plaza (Mii creation), augmented reality games, CrossPass" (which can automatically seek and connect to wireless network nodes such as Wi-Fi hotspots, sending and downloading information in the background while in sleep mode or while playing a game), 3D TV streaming(only available in Japan at the moment), e-book reader,better online capabilities, video chat, shop channel, web browser (and anything you do on the web like mail, facebook, etc.), and more which weren't fully announced by Nintendo. Plus the games are longer and are quality games.
It's amazing how the system is being supported by many big 3rd parties.
Some games that will be coming out for it:
Metal Gear Solid 3, Super Street Fighter IV, Resident Evil: Revelation, Resident Evil: Mercenaries, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Times, Kid Icarus, Paper Mario, Star Fox 64, Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright, Mario Kart, Kingdom Hearts series, Final Fantasy series, Dead or Alive 3D, Ninja Gaiden, Samurai Warriors 3D, Assassin's Creed: Lost Legacy, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, Call of Duty, Megaman Legends 3, and more. There will also be 3DS ware games, like Cave Story.

It's called marketing, M-A-R-K-E-T-I-N-G why don't you look it up in the dictionary for starters?

Hey,

You need to have the last version of Adobe Flash Player to be able to watch videos online.
Er, this is supposed to be a rhetorical question, right?
