How many 3DS consoles do/have you own(ed)?

[Chris]

For various reasons, a lot of people don't stick with a single version of a console for the entire generation: they break; the get lost; they're stolen; newer versions are released; etc. So, out of interest, how many 3DS (inc 3DS XL and/or 2DS) consoles have you owned to date? What is the reason for having purchased more than one?


Personally, I've had three Nintendo 3DS consoles in total:

1. An NTSC 3DS in flame red:
   Bought it in late 2011 but ended up selling it to a woman in London in early 2012. I didn't use it and decided I'd rather have the money than the console.
   
   
2. A PAL 3DS in coral pink:
   Bought in spring 2013 in anticipation of Animal Crossing: New Leaf; Harvest Moon: A New Beginning; and Pok?mon X coming out.
   
   
3. A PAL 3DS XL in blue (Pok?mon X/Y limited edition):
   Christmas present from my folks. ♥

How about everyone else?

Four.
A Cosmos Black 3DS - 2011 Christmas present.
A Red/Black 3DS XL - A Christmas present.
Animal Crossing Special Edition XL - I traded in my Red/Black XL to get this one. It was pointless because this 3DS XL's touch screen broke. Don't bring your 3DS to the beach... xD
Blue/Black 3DS XL - My current console.

Just one, the Flame Red 3DS I got for my birthday in 2011. It still works great, though the L and R buttons don't work as well as they used to.

I own two 3DS XL's. One silver/black and the other an NTSC red/black to play US games that never get released here. The red one is covered in American flag stickers for the hell of it.

Just one. 3DS XL; pink.
I almost another for Christmas/birthday from my brother since he forgot I had one. Then he almost gave it to our brother until he found out he and his girlfriend were getting each other one. Luckily his fiancee had been wanting one.

Three!
-Aqua Blue 3DS: Got it around launch but broke around August or September that year.
-Another Aqua Blue 3DS: I still loved the blue one the most and got it to replace the broken one.
-Animal Crossing 3DS XL: My other one was wearing out (Wireless was really buggy, L and R buttons not working, etc.) and this was coming out soon. So why not?
