I bought a silver/black XL in anticipation of NL coming out, and bought my boyfriend a silver/black XL too for his birthday as he was also waiting for the game. When they announced the ACNL console nearer the release date, I gave my silver/black to my mum, and got the AC bundle instead!
So 3!

Only my flame red one. 
I have 2, my aqua 3DS I got on launch, still works like a charm, though the bottom screen scratched my top screen, and I recently got a 2DS so I could trade between X and Y. I've always owned a minimum of 2 handhelds since I got my DS Lite (I have an original DS) for Pokemon trading purposes. (I currently own a grand total of 4 systems in the entire DS family)

I got my black 3DS the day it was released, and I still have it. I decided it was time to get my first XL system when the Pok?mon X and Y ones were released. I got the red one. At first I was skeptical of it, but it was a really good decision. The regular one feels too small now.
So far, exactly half the voters (23 out of 46) have owned more than one 3DS. 
The 3DS isn't expensive as far as consoles go, but it's not cheap enough to be much of an impulse buy either, so it's interesting to see peoples' reasons for having bought more than one.

I got a black launch one which was replaced with the Zelda 3DS, which was replaced with the Pikachu XL when the buttons suddenly stopped working and getting it repaired would cost essentially a new system. :/ Gave my original to my brother, my Zelda 3DS buttons started working recently (so I started playing Y on it), and my XL is my main.
