They didn't drop the price enough.
Until good games are released, why should it be priced higher than the DS?
Until Nintendo have proven that they can supercede DS games why should I trust them?
Nintendo are going up against the biggest handheld ever and they think that just because they made the original, they don't have to compete with it. The 'lite', 'i' and 'xl' all added value for current and 'on the fence' consumers. 3DS actively puts people off.
After the abomination that was New Super Mii-U Bros at e3, Nintendo could have regained my trust and released a new portable 2d Mario game that could easily make (N)SMB2.5DS look like the gimped, unoriginal, handheld version that it is. Instead they want to prove that they can remake OoT and Starfox and take their sweet time doing so.
Hope isn't lost, we can clearly see that Nintendo have come to their senses now that they've named 'Mario Kart 7' and 'Super Mario 3D Land'.
