Also another problem why the 3DS didn't sell is the DSi. The DSi, in a lot of peoples eyes seem more like a successor rather that a variation of the DS lineup. It had new features in the form of the camera & Downloadable DSI ware. Also a lot of the media quite often miss-reporting that it has a faster processor which Nintendo did absolutely nothing to dispel, I mean nothing. So here we have what looked like to a lot of the people the DS successor only for the actual successor in the form of the 3DS suddenly appear out of nowhere, so a lot of DSi owners gotten burned when they realized that there DS successor is no more than a DS 2. As a result, a lot of DSi owners was disaded from the 3DS simply because they don't want to be burned again.
@tektite_captain Here in Australia we have the Mattel vers & the NES version. The difference being that the Early systems were distributed by Mattel & the NES version is Distributed by the then newly founded Nintendo Australia.
With Nintendo Australia founded in 93 I can imagine it's the lats legs of the NES & the NES version is pretty much rare here.
Sound's pretty neat & cool, just unfortunately I was a bit to young for the old gray import scene & I'm still not sure what gray importing was like here in Australia. So I mostly missed out. I said mostly as my local Gametraders did stock the odd gray import with mostly with GBA & DS games. So I did get get Final Fantasy V & VI's GBA releases that were never officially released here. So I did at least experience something.
