The 3DS is missing one key thing

The only people who really seem to care about achievements are PS3/360 fans. The general Nintendo audience and the expanded audience don't seem to care for them much at all so I doubt it would be worth the effort.

Huh, that's funny because I considered myself a Nintendo fan...

And while you're correct that I don't think parents and the like won't care for achievements, kids and hardcore gamers very much do.  Nintendo already has the kids and parents hooked but they still need to gain traction with the hardcore gamers.  An achievement like system would go a very long way in that.

I mean the general Nintendo audience (or casuals, if you prefer) - Nintendo fans on here  don't really count for that. I'm not so sure if achievements alone would make 3DS a deal maker or breaker for anyone, really. And putting effort into something which will most likely not boost sales much would be rather pointless.
