- The software gaps of major releases compared to 2013. After Spring in 2014, it took forever for major software to hit and really compared to 2013, you could argue the first major game that wasn't a niche genre like JRPG or puzzle game was Smash for 3DS.
- Announcing and releasing (in Japan and Australia) the New 3DS without any sign of a nearby NA or Europe launch. Pretty much killed sales in the West for all potential purchasers that are knowledgeable of gaming news since even more so then the DSi, the new upgrade is a clearly stronger product that seems to deliver the second analog people have wanted for the 3DS as well as more power and better 3D. Makes those like myself that were waiting to upgrade into a 3DS XL feel better and those that were waiting for the obvious Nintendo upgrade to their handheld feel vindicated in not buying one of the originals, XL or the 2DS.
