3DS is getting a big push in the UK but when you visit a store and see the price of games (£40) and you compare that to the price of games on other portable platforms it's very off-putting.

We're in the midst of recession/recovery and consumers are far more careful about what they buy. I would imagine gamers have been cautious and read the less than impressive reviews.

Since its release elsewhere in the world plenty of time has elapsed and I expect most 3DS owners have bought something else.
