Well it was only properly released here last month, so it hasn`t really had much chance to be popular yet. It may have been boosted because of Monster Hunter Stories and the fact that it`s simply a much cheaper option than the regular 3DS.

It wasn't in Japan until now? Why did Nintendo wait for so long?

They didnt need it, sales were fine in Japan. Why not wait for sales to start struggling more until dropping the budget model.
