hmm well that's a bit unfortunate for gamers who rely heavily on importing

Why? If they are so big into importing won't they just import the console..?

Pretty much.  I don't remember this much bitching with PS2 or 360.  Yeah it sucks, but the writing was on the wall when we got DSi, anyone expecting any different was fooling themselves.  And at least 3DS still plays DS games (and lets you migrate your DSi games), it could've been worse...
