I don't think "recall" is the right word for this.

Realistically its just being discontinued and existing stock is being returned to Nintendo. "Recall" is usually only used for a massively defect (i.e. safety defect) device where even the consumer can return it.

Should change "recall" in title to "discontinued".


It's the title of the original article. Technically the 8GB version is not selling well, which is why Nintendo is recalling it. We think they'll recoat them as the premium models, which is very logical, but only Nintendo themselves know if this will be the case. So ''recalled'' is the correct term here.
