3GP is todays standard for mobile devices (or, to be more specific, 3G mobile phones, but for the reason, 3GP support is the most important standard in all mobile devices).
MP3 isn't a set standard for devices, like 3GP/MPEG-4/AAC.
Not having MP3 playback in DSi (or Wii for that matter), is an issue of cost, but considering the format is going to be obsolete and all devices should support AAC (it's also the format most consumer devices record the audio), i don't see much point in having MP3 support (outside i being the most commonly used compression today), if we are talking about tradeoff between MP3 and AAC.
As for Wii supporting AAC and not MP3, the idea is, that you transfer your files from your mobile device to Wii, that record to AAC format, not to play your pirated records. The compatibility is much more better. |
the standard is mp3, CDs are now ripped in Mp3 192-320/Flac by most of CD users.
not AAC, and mobiles devices support Mp3+AAC and even WMA and AAC+

The standard is being changed. Just like vinyl records were replaced by CD's.
If you don't think so, the sales numbers of i-tunes music store would like a word with you.
And really, pressing a button to convert is SOOOOO hard. Not like in the past, when a format change meant you had to repurchase all of your music in the latest format.

convert degrates the quality and also many people have their songs in mp3. AAC is nice but mp3 is the standard even if being "changed" which isn't.
even when facing out old technology the old was sold for a long while.
