The problem is that a) They had Ingress and a beta test, so they should have been able to at least plan for some more of this and had better stability and b) they charge for items that are real-time based, so if you use one and the game crashes, well you are out of luck.

Their beta test was also pretty sad. It didn’t…

You do realize they will undoubtedly come out with special editions right in time for the holidays, so they will still move a bunch of 3DS units, right?
